About this listen

At the height of Cold War tension, what if someone had fired their weapon? This 1983 speech drafted for Queen Elizabeth II to deliver in the event of nuclear warfare shows the chilling reality Britain and the world might have faced. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to the experts about how close this really was, and finds out why nuclear warfare is a zero sum game for the world.
