Uitzenddatum: Sep 22, 2005

The story of Edward Teller, the Manhattan Project lead physicist who was already obsessively working on inventing the hydrogen bomb while everyone else at Los Alamos was trying to complete the atom bomb project. Teller was directly or indirectly responsible for much of the Cold War and armaments race that followed World War II. He continued to influence government policy all the way up to the Strategic Missile Initiative (Star Wars), which continues to affect us today.
