Wrote "Dark Sun" and "Making of the Atomic Bomb"
Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Rhodes talked about the history of nuclear arms control at an unclassified Director's Colloquium Thursday at Los Alamos.
His talk, "A Near Miss at Reykjavik: Nuclear Abolition From Reagan to Tomorrow," described efforts to control and limit nuclear weapons that began before the end of the Second World War.
Rhodes, who signed copies of his new book, Arsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race, last night at Otowi Station Bookstore, also plans to speak Saturday in Santa Fe on "The Roots of Nuclear Proliferation."
Rhodes's talk at the Lab is scheduled to be rebroadcast next week on LABNET Channel 10.
