PODCAST: Nuclear Strategy and the Cold War

Ryan Evans
December 10, 2013

Last night, I sat down to talk nuclear strategy with William Rosenau of the Center for Naval Analysis, defense analyst Elbridge Colby, Robert Zarate of the Foreign Policy Initiative, and Stanley Orman – a former nuclear arms wizard who saved the U.S. and U.K. nuclear arsenals from corrosion in the 1960s.  It was a fascinating discussion during which I learned a great deal about nuclear arms, the Cold War, and giants of strategy like Thomas Schelling, Herman Kahn, and Albert Wohlstetter.

Have a listen and read Stanley’s new book, An Uncivil Civil Servant.

 

Ryan Evans is the assistant director of the Center for the National Interest and the editor-in-chief of War on the Rocks.
