This radio play addresses the issues of human overpopulation and global nuclear war. The play identifies reasons why global nuclear war is likely to happen and considers a scenario in which Russia prevails after the war. Scenes 1-3 describe a context in which Russia has motive, means and opportunity to initiate, wage and win a global nuclear war. Scene 4 discusses goals and objectives associated with global nuclear war and describes strategic considerations for such a war. Scenes 5 and 6 describe tactical operations in global nuclear war. Scene 7 describes planetary management operations two decades following the war and Scene 8 describes a typical domestic scene 500 years following the war. (Scenes 7 and 8 are the same as Scenes 11 and 12 of the radio play, The Planet Master.)
