It’s #WorldBookDay 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">And since reading lists are more welcome than ever these days, here are some of our favourite books on nuclear weapons and on changing the world #thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">
Our campaign coordinator @dhogsta recommends John Hershey’s “Hiroshima” because if you don’t know what happened there, you don’t know the truth about nuclear weapons: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27323.Hiroshima">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
Our Policy & Research coordinator @azakre had too many #goodbooks to pick just one. She recently read and learned a lot from Peter H. Eichstaedt& #39;s “If You Poison Us: Uranium Mining and Native Americans” and “People of the Bomb” by Hugh Gusterson, though. #WorldBookDay
ICAN’s ED @BeaFihn is all about taking and inspiring others to take action - so she encourages you all to dive into Read and Riot, by @pussyrrriot& #39;s Nadya Tolokonnikovahttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Books" aria-label="Emoji: Books">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Raised fist" aria-label="Emoji: Raised fist"> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35068832-read-riot">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
Have you read “Barefoot Gen”? Our Operations coordinator @celinenahory recommends this iconic #manga/ graphic novel about the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot_Gen">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare... #worldbookday2020
Our content intern, Sukanya, recommends ”Five Myths About Nuclear Weapons” in which Ward Wilson brilliantly breaks down why nuclear weapons are enormously dangerous and ‘not terribly useful’… #WorldBookDay https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/books/Five-Myths-About-Nuclear-Weapons/978054785817">https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/book...
Liz, our Admin & Finance Manager, recommends “Atomic Audit: Costs and Consequences of U.S. nuclear weapons since 1940” for an idea of how much money has been wasted on these weapons of mass destruction. And keep in mind those $$$ have gone way up since 2008! #WorldBookDay
Our Treaty Coordinator @TimMilesWright wants to recommend @achesonray’s forthcoming “Banning the Bomb, Smashing the Patriarchy”, but that’s cheating bc he’s one of the lucky ones who gets to read a preview https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face"> #staytuned, though! #WorldBookDay2020
Finally, though it’s a children’s book, digital campaigner @lucerito_oyarzun thinks “Sadako and the thousand paper cranes” is a must-read no matter your age, because it shows how the effects of nuclear radiation can destroy lives (but not hope) even years later. #WorldBookDay
Of course, there are so many more great reads out there on #nuclearweapons, on activism and on both, together! And we have some very well-read twitter followershttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Books" aria-label="Emoji: Books"> So now it’s back to you: what do you recommend on #WorldBookDay?
