Item 25 - "Nuclear deterrence: latest opiate of the people." Address in AMS last lecture series. Recorded at Queen's University, Kingston, Ont., on Oct. 31, 1984.

Author, editor and history Professor at Queen's University, Dr. Malcolm lectures on the effect of nuclear weapons on attitudes towards war and peace. Side One: Robert Malcolmson argues that the doctrine of deterrence is a front for planning nuclear warefare and must be exposed as such. The knowledge that underlies nuclear capability will always be with us ready to be converted into weapons of war. The answer as Professor Malcolmson sees it, is to gain political control of the situation and manage our knowledge intelligently. Talk followed by questions from the audience. Side Two: blank.
