Along the vigilantly patrolled line separating East and West Germany lie half the world's conventional (non-nuclear) armed forces–the Warsaw Pact forces to the east, the NATO Alliance to the west. It is here in Europe that military experts predict the next major world war will begin, initially with conventional weapons. In Keeping the Old Game Alive, top military leaders from both NATO and Warsaw Pact countries describe how any future superpower confrontation might evolve. The frightening outcome of one recent NATO war exercise was rapid escalation to all-out nuclear war once supplies of conventional weaponry were exhausted. Part five of the seven-part series War, hosted by Gwynne Dyer, examining the nature, evolution and consequences of modern warfare.
The seven-part series guides viewers through two centuries of world military history - from the Napoleonic Wars to the Falkland Island War and the Middle East conflict. Political ideals, military strategies, method of conquest, and the price mankind has paid for the spoils of war are discussed. The series was produced in Canada.
The order of presentation of the episodes is as follows: "The Road to Total War," which traces how developments have led mankind to the brink of total destruction by nuclear war – "Anybody's Son Will Do," which chronicles the making of soldiers from green recruits – "The Profession of Arms," which profiles the professional soldier – "The Deadly Game of Nations," explores the need of nations to keep armies and fight wars – "Keeping the Old Game Alive," which documents NATO's conventional war games – "Notes on Nuclear War," which follows the development of the arms race – "Goodbye War," which looks at why efforts to achieve lasting peace have failed.
