you can always go and find a good book to read.
i'm actually in the middle of an interesting one The Ruin of J. Robert Oppenheimer. It's about the systematic dismantling of the man by the US Gov't. The book is very fascinating, but one reviewer commented on it being a bit of a hagiography, and I can see why. Oppenheimer can do no wrong and Edward Teller is control freak credit-theiving asshole, according to the book. But the PBS documentary on this very segment of Oppenheimer's life (focusing more on the trial itself though) shows that Oppenheimer was very, very flawed as a human being.
The moral revolt against the Hydrogen bomb was a fascinating read due to the framing of the device as nothing less than it being a genocidal weapon with no legitimate military function. As someone who grew up with this device, it's kind of fascinating to learn that there was this strong outrage at its use, which goes beyond ban the bomb nogood peaceniks.
