Part one of this book describes the technology of mass destruction, examines the reality of nuclear crisis and ways it could progress to a nuclear disaster, and considers the rather special situations of New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Part two assumes the worst happens by contemplating the environmental, medical, social, and strategic consequences of a nuclear holocaust. Again, the rather special situations of the South West Pacific are emphasised. Part three suggests a two-pronged response by nations and individuals to the nuclear crisis
