Focusing on the geopolitical tensions surrounding nuclear weapons, the book explores the opposition to nuclear tests in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly through the establishment of a South Pacific Free Zone and New Zealand's ban on nuclear-armed vessels. This stance has led to a crisis within the ANZUS alliance, affecting relations with Australia and the United States. The author delves into the principles at stake, the evolution of this crisis, and its broader implications for Western alliances, while examining the potential spread of nuclear-free sentiments globally.
