Freeman Dyson's Weapons and Hope; inscribed by him to close personal friend Barbara Scott
First edition, second printing of Dyson's National Book Critics Circle Award-winning work on the nuclear dilemma. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "For Barbara Scott, oldest and dearest of our friends with love from Freeman."

In Dyson's fourth book, Weapons and Hope, the great physicist offers a vivid explanation of the nuclear dilemma and a deep understanding of real hope. Exploring the cultural and historical context of nuclear weapons, Dyson weaves together the interconnections of the past and future, showing that, although nuclear weapons have a unique potency, they are part of the long history of man and war and that our hopes for their control lie within our cultural, political and technical possibilities.
