Foreign secretary Harold MacMillan’s speech on nuclear war
General view lunch in progress;
Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan speech -
- We are approaching a point when no power, however great,
can hope to win a war. In nuclear war, once this saturation
point is reached there can be no victor. There can only be
mutual and universal destruction.....But in essence I was
right. There ain't gonna be no war, so long as total war
means and is known to mean the total destruction of both
sides, however great and powerful, involving perhaps the
destruction of all mankind"
