The Nuclear Solution

In the year 2047, earth has been ravaged by a limited nuclear war and is now divided between Pan America and the Sino Soviet power bloc. But in space there is a tyrant with the power to overcome both or shift the balance of power in either direction. On earth there is an ancient anit-war leader with psi vision of a planet linked to ours. But full scale nuclear war could destroy both before the path to human salvation is found. A thought provoking book that looks at human politics and human folly that could be our future.
