This chapter discusses the emergence of a mass movement for nuclear disarmament. The nuclear disarmament movement began to mobilize with the British government's announcement in 1957 that it was to develop the hydrogen bomb. The chapter focuses on the Committee of 100, the most important anarchist political organization of modern Britain, which called for mass civil disobedience against the preparations for nuclear war. E.P. Thompson's intellectual and political development and his contributions to the New Leftist programme are also examined.

Keywords:   nuclear disarmament, Committee of 100, anarchist, mass civil disobedience, nuclear war, E.P. Thompson, New Leftist
