The Two-Edged Sword
The last of six talks by Professor Laurence Martin, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, on armed force in the modern world.
Who's Moving the Goal Post?
'Conditioned by its ideals to feel guilty about the use of force, democratic opinion is addicted to crusades, if not against some foreign force, then against armed force itself.

Such an approach begins from a vigorous scrutiny of both the problem and the remedies proposed.'
This lecture will appear in THE LISTENER dated 17 December
(Issues raised in The Reith Lectures 1981 will be discussed in a special programme on 6 Jan 1982)
