- Description
- Episode Description
- Although the central power struggle is still between the East and West, most of the worlds recent armed conflicts have had little relationship to this confrontation. The world has seen a series of brushfire wars Indonesia attempted to crush Malaysia; Pakistan and India clashed in battle; Israel fought Egypt; fighting has occurred in Cyprus, Yemen, and the Congo. This episode casts a spotlight on the causes of these conflicts and their potential threat to the peace of the world. Appearing in this episode are: Major General Som Dutt of the Indian Army; Sisir Gupta of the Indian Council of World Affairs; Claudio Veliz, director of the International Affairs Institute of Chile; William Gutteridge, Lanchester College of Technology, England; Adam Yarmolinsky, former Chief Counsel of the United States Defense Department; Sir Robert Thompson, former Malaysian defense Minister; Alistair Buchan, Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies, London; Geoffrey Kemp, Institute for Strategic Studies, London; and Shimon Peres, former Deputy Defense Minister of Israel. The Struggle for Peace Chaos and Conflict is a co-production of National Educational Television and the Associated British Corporation. Written by Leonard Beaton, consultant to the Institute for Strategic Studies in London. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
- Series Description
- Struggle for Peace consists of 14 episodes (1 hour long prologue and 13 half-hour regular episodes). The series was produced by NET and ABC Television Limited of England and was initially distributed by NET in 1966. The series was reaired in 1967. The episodes were originally shot on videotape.
- Series Description
- National Educational Television, in a unique international co-production venture with ABC Television Ltd., England, created a documentary series, The Struggle for Peace. The series deals with world strategy and probes the balance and use of power in the modern world. Production units for the series worked in the United States, England and Europe. Among the key issues explored in The Struggle for Peace are: crises management in Berlin and Cuba, with the United States and Russia as the central actors; Chinas potential as a world force; the development and deployment of nuclear and non-nuclear weapons in America, Europe, Russia and China; the United Nations as a peacekeeper. William H. Kobin, NET vice president for programming, called the series of half-hour programs a new and important step for NET in the area of international co-production. In tracing the development of world power since the end of World War II and the building of power blocs, it is probably the first time any US network has combined with a foreign network to produce a series of this type and magnitude, Mr. Kobin said. The Struggle for Peace draws upon top minds in the political, scientific, military and academic areas. These on-the-spot interviews, along with timely and pertinent film segments drawn from worldwide sources, provide a unique global perspective. The writer for the series is Leonard Beaton, director of studies at the Institute for Strategic Studies in London. Mr. Beaton, a Canadian, is a former journalist who has worked for Reuters, The Times of London, and the Manchester Guardian. Mr. Kobin, who said the series will be broadcast on both the NET network and in England this fall, termed the project not only a significant milestone for NET but for all of broadcasting. This new series will enable the United States and the United Kingdom to gain international perspective on the most critical issue of our time: world survival. NET for a long time has felt the need for increased international cooperation in examining on television the major issues of our time. I hope we can expand our relationship with foreign broadcasters and undertake more international projects in the future. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
