I'd never heard of him before the original broadcast of War. He's actually become an environmental activist since then and is known now for his lectures on climate change as well as history.

I had forgotten how really good this was. Even with the vastly different international situation today, it holds up extremely well. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Its still worth watching though, not for its Cold War references, but its anthropological insight. My own thinking was very much influenced by it. As I recall, I was a cold warrior myself at the time, a Silicon Valley spook. I didn't realize it was on Youtube. I highly recommend it, if you've got the time to sit through all of it..
