Why Did We Make The Atomic Bomb?

Why Did We Make The Atomic Bomb?
Richard Rhodes recently gave an insightful lecture at the Hanford site in Washington State for the 70th Anniversary of the Manhattan Project that provides a glimpse of what emotions, paradigms, and philosophies motivated people during the world-changing event of developing the atomic bomb. Reprinted here, the reader will be amazed at the amount of information that is essentially unknown to the public, and even many of us in the field, and that adds another layer of insight into our present nuclear challenges in Iran, Pakistan and North Korea.
