The Fifth Horseman
Description
THE FIFTH HORSEMAN was a short series of eight shows produced to convince the American public to accept a plan to put all nuclear weapons under United Nations control. Produced by Public Service, this piece of early Cold War propaganda dramatized the argument that we could not win a nuclear conflict, by portraying the horrors of life after a nuclear holocaust. If you find this series interesting, you may want to try a one-hour Civil Defense special, called "TOMORROW", narrated by Orson Welles. This short series is not common in catalogs although all shows are available to collectors.
