The David Davies Memorial Institute (DDMI) is delighted to announce that we will be hosting Timmon Wallis in a book launch and discussion on the topic of ‘The Truth about Trident’. 

Timmon Wallis new book addresses the contentious issue of retaining the Trident nuclear programme. He addresses questions such as: How much will the renewal of Trident actually cost? What would be the impact of not renewing or replacing Trident? Have nuclear weapons really kept us safe since the end of World War II? And is Trident even legal under International Law?

He has been a past editor of Peace News and Director of the National Peace Council. He currently works for Quaker Peace and Social Witness.
