The book presents the history of the #HumanitarianInitiative & the process leading to #TPNW from 2010-17.
Having been centrally involved in this process, it is a first-hand account of how the extraordinary cooperation of #states & #civilsociety made the #TPNW happen @nuclearban

My country, #Italy, is the EU country with the highest number of #USNuclearWeapons on its soil and the only one with 2 #nuclearBases(#Aviano and #Ghedi): it's time to say: #NukesGoHome
In 2002, I was lucky enough to meet #JosephRotblat,one of the nuclear scientists who created the #NuclearDisarmament movement with #AlbertEinstein and #BertrandRussell. He had a unique story: he had left the #ManhattanProject as soon as he learned #Hitler didn't have the A-bomb

1. Annual >$3b aid packages, with regular supplements & fewer restrictions than aid to other nations
2. Support of governments #Israel likes, such as #Jordan #KSA

6. Various state & federal government agencies with preferences to #Israel, such as #police exchanges & subsidized trade delegations.
7. Voting for legislation punishing people who support #BDS, a non-violent advocacy tactic.
Whatever it is that causes #USA
