Symposia held by Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Council for a Livable World are part of an aggressive assault on the threat of thermonuclear war as a preventable disease. This collection, mostly by doctors, examines the issues of nuclear war in terms of the medical mission that doctors accept of preserving public health. The authors find that prevention is the only viable answer, while civil defense is only an illusion. The papers are grouped under the headings: Symptoms, Causes, Pathogenesis, Prognosis, and Treatment. 121 references, 10 figures, 22 tables. (DCK)
