Future Peace: Technology, Aggression, and the Rush to War by Robert H. Latiff urges extreme caution in the adoption of new weapons technology and is an impassioned plea for peace from an individual who spent decades preparing for war.
Winners in each genre, including Editor’s Choice Prize winners and Foreword’s Independent Publisher of the Year, will be announced June 15, 2023 on Foreword Review’s website, Facebook, and Twitter.
