Fresh Air, Jonathan Schell

Author Jonathan Schell on this edition of Fresh Air. In his new book, The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence, and the Will of the People he rethinks the relationship between war and political power. He writes that military power is not as effective as it once was, and that a more useful approach is one of cooperation with other nations. As you may imagine, Schell was against the war in Iraq. Schell is also the author of the 1982 classic The Fate of the Earth (about the possibility of Nuclear holocaust). He's also written for The Nation, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine and The Atlantic.
