Moderated by John Williams. Michael Stoff presents a history of the "atomic age," and begins with a letter Albert Einstein sent to President Roosevelt about the possibility of the Nazis creating an atomic bomb. Stoff discusses actions during WWII that lead to the Cold War, including the actions of General Leslie Groves, the distrust between Russia and the U.S., the viewpoints of various scientists on using the bomb, and Truman's handling of the bomb. Warren Broderick explores how the atomic bomb influenced scientific communities and governments worldwide by comparing the atomic age and the space age.
