Event Description
Will US-Soviet Cold War History Repeat for China, India, and Pakistan?
Covert war plans, hidden weapons stockpiles, top-secret containment
strategies: Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, a cache of
declassified documents sheds new light on military and political
circumstances that presaged a serious threat of nuclear war between the
US and the former Soviet Union.
As technology in the 21st century connects distant points around the
globe, and the factors that may lead to conflict become increasingly
complex, serious questions arise: What, if any, is the strategic purpose
of nuclear weapons and under what circumstances would they be used? And
can we learn from the arms race of the past to prevent the deployment
of a nuclear bomb in the future?
Speaker: Thomas Graham, Nonproliferation and National Security Department, BNL
