Report from Iron Mountain : On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace

Upon its first appearance in 1967, this best-selling "secret gov't. report" sparked debate among journalists & scholars with its convincing claim: a condition of "permanent peace" at the end of the Cold War would threaten our nation's economic & social stability. The report was finally identified as an anti-militarist hoax that lampoons "think tank" jargon by peace activists Leonard Lewin, with Victor Navasky, Richard Lingeman, E.L. Doctorow, & John Kenneth Galbraith. Long out of print, it suddenly reappeared in "bootleg" editions more than 20 years later, now being read as a "bible" by the militias of the radical right. This ed. has an intro. by Navasky, & articles that appeared on the book's original pub.Lewin, Leonard C. is the author of 'Report from Iron Mountain : On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756753818 and ISBN 0756753813.
