Description
Daniel Ellsberg talks about the danger and recklessness of the US nuclear policy for more than 70 years. For the first time, he reveals the details of the American nuclear program of the 1960s, which involved a preemptive strike against the USSR. You will learn all about the chaos in the US military command environment: from the situation at the most remote air bases in the Pacific region, where the right to decide on the use of nuclear weapons is transferred from one level of command to another, to the secret plans for an all-out nuclear war that would lead to the destruction of all mankind.
