Bertrand Russell: The Fear of Madness (1997x2)

Air date: Jun 04, 1997

Second of a two-part profile of the philosopher and peace campaigner. Honoured as a sage and prophet throughout the world, Bertrand Russell preached peace and reconciliation at the height of the Cold War. But his personal I ife was marred by conflict with those closestto him, insanity and - some allege - even devilish cruelty.
