Ferenc Szasz: The Birth of the Atomic Bomb (Part 1 of 7)

I'm so happy these Atomic Heritage folks have posted these seven videos on YouTube!

I took a year's worth of Dr. Szasz's American Political, Cultural, and Religious History class in 1979 at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Szasz thrilled at tracking down the many odd byways that people came to believe the things they did. Sometimes the byways were quite obscure, which made the pleasure of discovery all the greater.

In retrospect, of all the professors I took classes from in my many long years in school, Dr. Szasz was the best.

Here, Dr. Szasz discusses how Americans came to understand the quest for atomic power.

In Part 4, Dr. Szasz starts discussing Meteorology.
