SFS Online & On Topic | Nuclear Weapons and Security: 75 Years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Nuclear weapons tend to be in the news when we worry about them. We worried all during those years of the Cold War, and then again, for a time, after 9/11 when the fear of nuclear terrorism emerged. Well, they're back: Russia, China and the United States are in an arms race and citizens should pay attention. Join Professors Robert L. Gallucci (Parent'03, '05) and Anthony C. Arend (SFS'80) for a conversation on the current state of nuclear weapons and international security.
