In 1950, the United States was deciding whether to build a bomb a thousand times stronger than the one dropped on Hiroshima. William L. Laurence, the New York Times science reporter who had watched the first atomic test, explains in plain terms how fission and fusion work, what the hydrogen bomb would be and what it could do. He also warns about the cobalt bomb and asks what such weapons mean for the world. Read by Nathan Edwards. Three hours and forty-six minutes. For readers interested in the history of the Cold War.
