The Bomb, the Hubris, and the Spectre
Alberto Girlando
Abstract
In this essay I will make a non-exhaustive survey of the role of scientists, politicians, and the military in the development and use of the Bomb in the thirty years following the beginning of the United States Manhattan Project. I will be mainly focusing on facts or documents that have gradually fallen into oblivion, but that in my opinion are important to develop a critical view of the past responsibilities, and to consciously address the present dramatic situation of worldwide wars, that may yield again to the use of the Bomb.
