We think, most of us, that history is past. Done and dusted, over with, just a memory. But history has a way of coming back to bite us. As Ronald Reagan said, here we go again. I remember when the cold war was over. But then it wasnt. I remember farther back when people were scared of the abomb, and then worse, of the hbomb. And now today, the specter of nuclear war has once again reared its ugly head. Kevin ruane is professor of modern history at Canterbury Christ Church University in United
