Marconi Murders- M.A.D

Welcome back to True Crime Tuesday.

In this gripping episode, we delve into the alleged Marconi Murders plot amid the heightened tensions of the Cold War from 1985 to 1989. As President Reagan launched the ambitious Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the "Star Wars" program, the geopolitical landscape shifted dramatically.

This episode explores the intense reactions and strategic maneuvers of the USA, UK, and the Soviet Union in response to the SDI. Uncover how Reagan's vision for advanced missile defense technologies aimed to disrupt the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD), pushing the USSR to the negotiating table.

We'll also examine the UK's cautious stance under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the potential espionage activities surrounding this high-stakes period. Tune in for an in-depth look at this fascinating and controversial chapter of Cold War history.
