Bruce Roth, a native of Dallas, Texas, was a licensed amateur radio operator
and an Eagle Scout as a youth. He graduated from the Georgia Institute of
Technology in 1971 and received a Master of Science in Financial Services
degree in 1980.

trust officers on advanced insurance topics, and he has been published in an

Bruce lives in Atlanta with his wife,
a nurse, and his daughter, a college student. His hobbies
are collecting antique art and books, but his passions
are opera, barbeque, and foreign policy. Recently, Bruce attended the Global Security Institute's meeting at the UN during the time of North Korea's nuclear testing. He attended the 7th Annual Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Rome as a guest of the International Peace Bureau as well as the Article VI Forum in Vienna as a guest of the Middle Powers Initiative. He currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Opera.
Although Bruce’s formal
academic training and professional experience
are in areas outside the scope of nuclear weapons,
history, war, anthropology, psychology, law,
and political science, his passion for this subject
has inspired him to study these areas in order
to find the answers to these questions:
Is mankind becoming less warlike or more warlike?
Why don’t enlightened men control their aggressive tendency that leads to violence?
Why do people turn away from confronting these vital issues of WMDs, genocide, and terrorism?
Why have our methods of preventing war and maintaining peace failed to do so?
Why can’t the UN preserve world order?
How can dictators and despots perpetrate inhumane acts and genocide without being brought swiftly to international justice?
If people do not have the legal right
to resort to violence in order to protect
their interests, why do nations have the
right to use violence when protecting their
national interests?
Can terrorism be fought without a war?
Why do civil wars rage within nations
without international intervention?
Is there a more effective system of international
justice?
