Avoiding Armageddon

July 9, 2011

Ambassador James Goodby, author of Avoiding Armageddon

Since World War II, every American president has served as custodian of the nation's nuclear weaponry. At moments of high tension – like the Cuban Missile crisis – this stewardship has been severely tested. In every presidency new challenges have arisen like today's threat of atomic weapons in rogue states. Ambassador James Goodby uses 35 years of direct involvement to support his analysis of how presidents have coped with managing the ultimate weapon.
