About this listen
However, what it gave rise to, instead, was a complex mix of insecurity & fear fanned by the successful demonstration of the massive destructive power of the atom and a similar quest for development & possession of nuclear weapons by other nations, especially, the Soviet Union & the Europeans, yearning to emulate America, to create a level playing field with mutually assured destruction being its core pivot as well as tenet triggering the outbreak of a relentless nuclear arms race globally for one-upmanship.
The world order was altered forever with the ushering in of the nuclear age with new, complex power dynamics & equations coming into play and setting the stage for the onset of an equally bitter Cold War with the expected transition from overt to covert means of warfare configured on bloc dynamics & ideological warfare. Espionage, spoofing and power-plays, thus, became the key characters in this long & seemingly unending script directing & shaping the overall scheme of things geared towards an inexorable quest for global supremacy which continues to disappear & re-emerge periodically in repeated, cyclical patterns even after 7+ decades of the original event which kick-started this weird chain reaction.
This dossier, a collection of articles, op-eds, essays & analytical pieces from multiple sources, collectively termed as ‘oblique perspectives’, traces, analyzes & chronicles the impact, fallout & ramifications of the Trinity tests and the subsequent Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings, on the world as analyzed from different dimensions ranging from political & geopolitical, scientific & technological, military & warfare, industrial & doctrinal and most importantly, the human dimension, while almost paying a homage & tribute to every single human being on this planet who was, has been and is going to be a part & parcel of this Frankenstein nuclear juggernaut, whether advertently or otherwise, irrespective of the side, dimension and the capacity of their association, be it the Prometheus himself or the victims of his creation…
The Dossier tackles some real hard & poignant questions, including:
- How was the outcome of the Trinity Test Result Communicated to Political Leadership?
- How the U.S. carefully preserved Hiroshima as a chosen target for Atomic Bombing from 1943 to 1945?
- How the Fallout from the Trinity Tests reached 46 U.S. States & even Canada?
- How the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Exposed Millions of Americans to Radiation Exposure for Decades?
- How the Residents of Socorro County,NM near the Trinity Tests Site have never been Compensated?
- Why the Choice of Nevada as a Site for Nuclear Testing in the 1950s was a Disastrous Decision?
- How the AEC sided with Corporate America while Leaving its Citizens in Lurch - A Tale of Betrayal?
- How Kremlin Stole Nuclear Secrets from Los Alamos and Targeted Oppenheimer?
