Jonathan Schell, formerly an editor with the New Yorker (1967-1987), is currently the Harold Willens Peace Fellow at the Nation Institute. In 1982 he wrote The Fate of the Earth, a bestseller about the grim realities of nuclear proliferation that galvanized millions and became a cornerstone of the movement to abolish nuclear weapons. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and National Critics Award. His newest book The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence and the Will of the People may spark another national conversation; this time, about the growing dangers of military power and the need for nonviolent solutions to geopolitical conflicts. Jonathan has been a contributor to The Nation, The New Yorker, Harper’s, The Atlantic and Foreign Affairs. He has taught at Princeton, Wesleyan, and Emory and will be teaching at Yale this fall. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation grant.
