341 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. viii (1962)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0341 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD War is today a social problem of catastrophic force and overshadowing urgency. The basis of war is power, and power is a product of science. Science is therefore deeply involved in this problem, and scientists have a particular duty toward its solution. For the establishment of national policy on war-or peace-the public needs to learn the relevant facts and discuss their meaning. We believe that it is the obligation of scientists to make these facts known, to estimate the conse- quences of alternative policies, and, if need be, to seek new solutions. This statement reflects the view of the Committee on Science in the Promotion of Human Welfare of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.' A group of social scientists and practitioners of unconventional warfare were asked to contribute to this volume in much the same spirit. There are 104 members of the United Nations. Since 1945, thirty-five of these nations were affected on their own territory in one way or another by unconven- tional warfare. The ever increasing prominence of this type of warfare as an instrument of gaining political power and its importance to the national interest of the United States are the reasons for presenting this subject to the public. The most sincere words of appreciation ought to be expressed here to Mrs. Aina Kruger, my research assistant at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. Her editorial and secretarial assistance was indispensable in the preparation of the volume. J. K.
