Books about Ploughshares from Amazon.com

Nuclear weapons were ruled illegal in 1999 by the World Court. Three middle-aged peace activists disabled the Trident thermonuclear submarine fleet in the Highlands of Scotland to test this ruling and make governments take note. When arrested, they took the brave and unprecedented step of suing the British government for possessing weapons of mass destruction, and they won.

The women’s lawyer and author of this book, John Mayer, used the highest laws in the world—the Nuremberg Principles and the reasoning of the World Court. "The Trident Three," American Ellen Moxley, Angie Zelter from the U.K. and Ulla Roder from Den-mark have dedicated their lives to peaceful action and this is their remarkable story of how ordinary people can make a difference.
