John
F. Kennedy’s last battle, cut short by his assassination, was the effort to
build a sustainable peace with the Soviet Union. Jeffrey Sachs,
professor of economics at Columbia University, in his new book To
Move the World chronicles the campaign by Kennedy from October 1962 to
September 1963 to curb the arms race and build ties with his Soviet
counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev. Sachs looks at the series of speeches
Kennedy gave to end the Cold War and persuade the world to make peace with the
Soviets. Kennedy implemented the Partial
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. But Kennedy’s vision was not shared
by many Cold warriors in the establishment, including some within his
administration. Joining me to discuss To Move the World: JFK’s Quest for
Peace is Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
