The Cold War - The Nature of Risk | 4

  • Résumé

  • Americans were desperate to find hope in the shadow of the bomb.

    Miracle cures, cheap energy, and even brand new atomic gardens: the wonders of the atom were ours to discover! Right? Eager to explore nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, Americans instead found the resulting radioactive fallout too dangerous.

    In Episode 4, we’ll talk about swim wear, baby teeth, and how America just couldn’t get friendly with the atom.

    Scott Kauffman’s “Project Plowshare: The Peaceful Use of Nuclear Explosives in Cold War Alaska” was inspired by Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” speech and essential reading for anyone interested in nuclear history.

    Finally, Audra Wolfe’s book, “Competing with the Soviets,” was crucial to our overall understanding of the Cold War.
