Description
From a Series of seven 55 minute programmes which provide a definitive study of how we have come in the 1980’s to the brink of man-made cataclysm. For five thousand years warfare has been an instrinsic, even indispensible part of style of living which we call civilisation. Up to only two years ago, warfare threatened hardly anybody except soldiers. Now in underground control rooms on three different continents, men sit every hour of every day waiting for the order to launch the nuclear missiles of World War Three. for the first time in history, modern technology and organisations have made warfare so complete and efficient that it can destroy us all. How did we arrive at this? Journalist Gwynne Dyer who wrote and presented this series was a reserve officer in the American, British and Canadian Navies, taught military affairs studies at Canadian Forces College, and also was a senior lecturer in War Studies at Rotal Military Academy, Sandhurst.
Gwynne Dyer charts how from Napolean to Nagasaki the major social, economic and scientific developments have changed the methods and impact of modern war to lead us to the edge of total destruction.
