Presented by The Rt Hon Sir Edward Boyle, MP

Bertrand Russell was involved in all the great issues of his time. He opposed the First World War. He supported the emancipation of women and advocated sexual freedom. He was an early opponent of communism and fought fascism. His last years were increasingly devoted to warning the world of the dangers of nuclear war. What did Russell achieve? What use is his advice today?
Speakers include: MICHAEL FOOT, MP
PROFESSOR CHARLES WILSON DR GEORGE STEINER
PROFESSOR JOHN REX
PROFESSOR BERNARD WILLIAMS PROFESSOR DONALD MACKINNON
DORA RUSSELL, CONRAD RUSSELL, and recordings of Bertrand Russell
