Highway to Hell

“Dante Alighieri described a fictional Perdition in The Inferno. Scott Ritter knows that failure to put down nuclear weapons truly sets us on The Highway to Hell. An urgent read requiring urgent action.”
DENNIS J. KUCINICH, Former U.S. Congressman and 2004, 2008 Democratic candidate for President
“No one knows more about nuclear weapons than Scott Ritter. He has devoted the better part of his post-military career to warning the world about the dangers of their use and how close we are at this writing to universal destruction. The keys to universal destruction were created by the American Empire, mimicked by its selected allies, stolen by the Israelis who time and again have threatened to destroy the world, and now rests in the hands of dangerous immoral people. In Highway to Hell, Scott shares his vast knowledge of these horrible weapons and whispers into our ears a warning: If someone repeatedly threatens to destroy the planet and has the means to do so, you better take them seriously. Don’t expect to get much sleep once you’ve started to read this book.” HON. ANDREW J. NAPOLITNANO, Former NJ Superior Court Judge, NY Times best-selling author.
“Scott Ritter has done it again. Another great read. As a former Command Chief of Space Command, the command which had the responsibility of our land based nuclear arsenal, I have seen up and close what nuclear weapons can do. I think we should take heed to what Scott has documented. Anyone who cares about the survival of our planet should read this remarkable chronicle.” DENNIS FRITZ, Director, Eisenhower Media Network and Former Command Chief of Space Command
“Sadly, many world leaders have lost the necessary fear of nuclear war. Scott’s writings help us understand how hard work and organizing by regular people can change the direction of international policy. His journey is relevant to the struggle that we all experience and reading about it will surely motivate you to do your part.” GARLAND NIXON, Host, NewsViews with Garland Nixon
“Scott Ritter’s Highway to Hell is an accessible must-read chronicle on the biggest existential question facing humanity: the threat of nuclear conflict. This book takes you on a journey that empowers readers not only with the history and geopolitical analysis we need to understand the problem, but also the steps we must take to stop imperial madness before it’s too late.”
DANNY HAIPHONG, Host of “The Left Lens with Danny Haiphong” podcast
