North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, China, Iran — concern over nuclear weapons continues to grab news headlines. Nine nations evidently possess nuclear weapons and at least a rudimentary means of delivering them. The War That Must Never Be Fought borrows its title from President Ronald Reagan's State of the Union message of 1984, in which he declared "a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” Here’s a rare chance to hear two distinguished American statesmen discuss a post-deterrence approach to defense in the 21st century and the possible pathways to a world without nuclear weapons, as well as their outlook on the general state of the world.
