Listen "Daniel Ellsberg on the continuing nuclear threat – from the US"
Episode Synopsis
Daniel Ellsberg is well-known for the Pentagon Papers, but few people realize he also has extensive experience with US nuclear weapons policy dating back to the 1950s and 60s. Last year, Ellsberg published a memoir called "The Doomsday Machine," where he argues that US developed immoral and dangerous policies during the Cold War, and that surprisingly little has changed in the years since. Ellsberg recently visited FSI’s Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), where he participated in a Q&A about his new book.
