In the 1980s, Schell wrote a series of articles in the "
The New Yorker " (subsequently published as "The Fate of the Earth "), which were instrumental in raising public awareness about the dangers of the nuclear arms race. He has been a persistent advocate for disarmament, and a world free of nuclear weapons.In 2002 and 2003, Schell was a persistent critic of the planned invasion of Iraq. He has since commented, "There doesn't seem to be a rush to find the people who were right about Iraq and install them in the mainstream media."
