Highlighted are some of the earliest steps towards peace along with first hand accounts of our nation’s top physicists that include Herbert York and Harold Agnew. Other guests include a survivor of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki along with nuclear weapons designers from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Laboratories.
