If you missed the 2010 Drell Lecture earlier this week, you’ll have another opportunity to hear former Secretary of State GEORGE SHULTZ, and several other former Cold Warriors, including former Secretary of Defense WILLIAM PERRY in Nuclear Tipping Point, a new documentary. In addition to Shultz, a Hoover fellow, and Perry, a fellow at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, the film features interviews with Henry Kissinger, former secretary of state and Sam Nunn, former Democratic senator from Georgia.
The trailer alone is chilling. Add to that the dire words of Shultz: “If you think of the people who are doing suicide attacks, and people like that get a nuclear weapon, they are almost by definition not deterable. And if you have terrorists get something you don’t even know the return address.”
Nuclear Tipping Point was produced by the Nuclear Security Project, an effort to raise awareness about nuclear threats and to help build support for reducing nuclear dangers. The Project is coordinated by the Nuclear Threat Initiative, in cooperation with the Hoover Institution.
A free DVD is available at the project’s website:
