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?
