Sleep With History

Beneath the shadow of a world at war, an assembly of brilliant minds embarked on a clandestine journey that would redefine the boundaries of power and possibility. In the secret havens of the Manhattan Project, from the remote deserts of New Mexico to the vast spaces of Washington, the air was thick with the silent anticipation of a discovery that could end the war, or begin a new era of conflict. This episode unfurls the intricate mixture of human endeavor, ethical paradoxes, and the profound ambivalence that accompanied the birth of the nuclear age. As we explore the hushed corridors and whispered dialogues of those transformative years, let us find a moment of reflection in the quiet that follows the storm.
