“Reagan was sincere. He wanted to break the cycle of arms racing and to find a way to render nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.' HistoryAsItHappens podcast
Forty years ago, 'Return of the Jedi' opened in movie theaters, but 1983 also was a big year for another kind of 'Star Wars.' Two months before the movie premiered, President Ronald Reagan delivered a nationally televised address announcing an initiative to build a space-based missile shield that would use lasers to shoot down incoming ICBMs.
It was, however, part of Reagan's vision for a world free of nuclear weapons, a vision he successfully pursued in negotiations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. In this episode, Joseph Cirincione, an expert on nuclear non-proliferation and national defense, discusses how the world has moved a long way in the wrong direction from the"golden age" of nuclear arms reduction treaties. This is a podcast for people who want to think historically about current events.
