Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma quotes

Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, was a British naval officer, statesman, and member of the royal family. A key figure during World War II, he served as Supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia and later as the last Viceroy of India. He played a significant role in the transition of British India to independence and was tragically assassinated in 1979. Here is 1 of his quotes:

As a military man who has given half a century of active Service, I say in all sincerity that the nuclear arms race has no military purpose. Wars cannot be fought with nuclear weapons. Their existence only adds to our perils because of the illusions which they have generated. There are powerful voices around the world who still give evidence to the old Roman precept-if you desire peace, prepare for war. This is absolute nuclear nonsense. (Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma)
