Used book in very good condition
I purchased this book as I read in a local library and found it very good.

The author, Arthur Compton, is a Nobel laureate physicist as well as a devoted Mennonite. The book is about his profound belief in peace and non-violence and how he was convinced that dropping of A-bomb to Japan is unavoidable to regain peace.

I recommend this book to everyone who wants think about war, peace and humanity with or without interest in physics. ... Read more
