Should our grudging peace ever falter, today's, warriors can stage a battle far worse than any. thing our world has ever seen. For more than 30 years now the world has lived with the unthinkable, namely that civilisation as we know it could be brought to a sudden and catastrophic end in a nuclear holocaust. Until the recent Salt II debate there has been little talk in public or private during the past decade of the possibility of nuclear war.

In this programme Peter Ustinov breaks through the veil of secrecy and indifference to examine four possible routes to nuclear war ana in turn gives substance to the particular nightmares they evoke.Nuclear Nightmares- Wars that Must Never Happen Part 01
