3: Red Alert Paul Nitze and the Present Danger
Written and presented by Michael Charlton
The Committee on the Present Danger composed of distinguished Democrats who later joined President Reagan's administration had a profound influence on American attitudes towards the Soviet Union in the late 1970s. They believed that the Soviet-American relationship could not be built upon co-operation but rather, was one of permanent opposition.
