How did a Cold War nuclear planner become one of its biggest critics? Paul Jay traces Daniel Ellsberg’s journey from nuclear war planner to discovering the lies behind the “missile gap” with the Soviets. Jay exposes how defense industry executives and government officials manufactured the Cold War to keep military spending flowing after World War II. While the Soviet Union posed an ideological challenge, its military threat was deliberately exaggerated. The real goal? Using massive defense spending to stimulate the American economy while suppressing domestic opposition. The nuclear systems Ellsberg warned about remain active today. Jay’s upcoming film exposes how Cold War thinking continues to endanger us all – and what we can do about it.
