Sanity and Survival in the Nuclear Age cover

Originally published as Sanity and Survival in 1967, Random House reissued this classic work with a new introduction in 1982. Distributed by University Press of America.

Dr. Frank has with masterful clarity delineated the psychologic substratum for the nuclear arms race. No one has more clearly drawn the illusory super-power aim of achieving security through the objective of gaining nuclear superiority. This book has educated a generation of physicians and stimulated their commitment to preventing the 'final epidemic.'> -- Bernard Lown, M.D., President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Inc.
Only on the basis of an understanding of our behavior can we hope to control it in such a way as to ensure the survival of the human race. It is toward the development of this kind of understanding that Dr. Frank has written this book. -- Bernard Lown, M.D., President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Inc. * J. William Fulbright *
Dr. Frank's perceptive suggestions on how to prevent global nuclear devastation made important reading when first published in 1967. Today, when strategists again flirt with the folly of a nuclear war-winning capability, it should be required reading for world leaders. -- Paul C. Warnke, Former Chief Negotiator, SALT II, Carter Administration
