Summary War and Peace in the Nuclear Age is a thirteen-part PBS series on the origins and evolution of nuclear competition between the United States and the former Soviet Union, first broadcast in 1989. The series examined the rivalry for power and its impact on the world, deterrence, diplomacy, negotiation and ethical debates that ran through the forty-year history of the nuclear age. The programs’ purpose was to reconstruct the dynamics that shaped the thinking of the time and decisions made by the prevailing world leaders, relying heavily on contemporary interviews with key United States, Soviet, Asian and European participants, who discussed the dilemmas that world leaders, military strategists, scientists and the public at large confronted at the time.
