520    "The Nuclear Club reveals how a coalition of powerful and 
       developing states embraced global governance in hopes of a
       bright and peaceful tomorrow. While fears of nuclear war 
       were ever-present, it was the perceived threat to their 
       preeminence that drove Washington, Moscow, and London to 
       throw their weight behind the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty
       (LTBT) banishing nuclear testing underground, the 1967 
       Treaty of Tlatelolco banning atomic armaments from Latin 
       America, and the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 
       (NPT) forbidding more countries from joining the most 
       exclusive club on Earth. International society, the Cold 
       War, and the imperial U.S. presidency were reformed from 
       1945 to 1970, when a global nuclear order was inaugurated,
       averting conflict in the industrial North and yielding 
       what George Orwell styled a "peace that is no peace" 
       everywhere else. Today the nuclear order legitimizes 
       foreign intervention worldwide, empowering the nuclear 
       club and, above all, the United States, to push sanctions 
       and even preventive war against atomic outlaws, all in 
       humanity's name"--|cProvided by publisher.
