When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

BASIC is the only peace and security non-governmental organization that is British-American in composition and focus. With programs that address diplomacy and decision-making around nuclear weapons, we work on both sides of the Atlantic to encourage sustainable transatlantic security policies and to develop the strategies that can achieve them. We have charitable status in the United Kingdom and in the United States. We operate with offices in London and Washington, a small but committed staff, and an active network of influential board members and advisers, and patrons on both sides of the Atlantic.

BASIC Strategic Dialogue on nuclear weapons: Cost and benefits to US strategic interests from UK renewal of Trident 34:22

for 11 years siden34:22

34:22

Paul Ingram and Peter Huessy shared strategic perceptions on Trident in the United Kingdom and the United States, and discussed what possible changes could mean for alliance security. The debates around replacement of the UK nuclear weapons submarines have been heating up in the United Kingdom, and with the historical cooperation between the two allies on Trident, and the Mutual Defence Agreement, decisions could have an impact in the United States too. These speakers assessed how the different possible outcomes might be viewed on both sides of the Atlantic. Paul Ingram is the Executive Director of BASIC in the United Kingdom. Peter Huessy is President of GeoStrategic Analysis in the United States. Both speakers have addressed nuclear weapons issues in their work for over 20 years. The event was introduced by BASIC's Chair, Dr. Trevor McCrisken. The discussion was held on November 12, 2013 at the Capitol Hill Club. The event was part of a series of "Strategic Dialogues" that BASIC has put together during the past two years in order to bring together speakers with different views on strategic nuclear and arms control issues, in an effort to find commonalities on often contentious issues, especially for audiences in Washington, DC.

5 Myths of Nuclear Weapons: Ward Wilson 54:01

54:01

Interview with Ward Wilson by Utah Public Radio on October 17 2013. Ward discusses five myths of nuclear weapons: that nuclear weapons shock and awe opponents; that nuclear deterrence is effective in a crisis; that killing civilians causes leaders to back down; that the bomb has kept the peace for sixty-five years; and that we can’t put the nuclear genie back in the bottle. His conclusion? Nuclear weapons are enormously dangerous, but don’t appear to be terribly useful. This excerpt and interview can be originally found here on the Utah Public Radio website. BASIC would also like to thank Utah Public Radio for allowing us to redistribute this interview.…
