African Americans Against the Bomb - (Stanford Nuclear Age) by Vincent J Intondi (Paperback)

African Americans Against the Bomb is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the lesser-known history of African Americans' involvement in the anti-nuclear movement.

Vincent Intondi's well-researched and engagingly written book tells the story of how black activists connected the nuclear issue to the fight for racial equality, highlighting their efforts to challenge the assumption that race played a role in the decision to deploy atomic bombs.

Through a detailed examination of African American newspapers, archival records, and interviews with key figures, Intondi provides an eye-opening account of how black leftists in Popular Front groups saw the use of atomic bombs as a racial issue and connected it to colonialism.

The book also explores the links between the black freedom movement and issues of global peace, revealing how African Americans Against the Bomb offers an important contribution to broadening our scholarly conceptions of nuclear history.

With its focus on the lesser-known history of African Americans' involvement in the anti-nuclear movement, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex and interconnected issues of race, war, and peace.
