People Who Make a Difference in Arms Control
Peter Kuznick, November 20, 2009
Professor of History at American University in Washington D.C. and
director of the university's Nuclear Studies Institute, Dr. Peter
Kuznick dispels the popular belief that using atomic bombs on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki brought about the prompt surrender of Japan and the early
conclusion of World War II, thus saving millions of lives that would
have been lost in an invasion of Japan. He explains that atomic bombs
neither ended the war nor were necessary to avoid an invasion of Japan.
Dr. Kuznick also talks about the ten part documentary movie he is making
with Oliver Stone, winner of three Academy Awards. The movie, titled
The Secret History of the United States, will be released next year.

Richard L. Garwin, June 28, 2009
Renowned physicist, Richard L. Garwin, is a recipient of the
National Medal of Science, the nation's highest honor in science and engineering.
Dr. Garwin designed the first hydrogen bomb while working under Dr.
Edward Teller at Los Alamos. Although Dr. Garwin is a continuing
contributor to military technology, he is an outspoken advocate of
nuclear arms control. In this interview, he describes his role in
developing the hydrogen bomb and shares his views on Anti-Ballistic
Missile systems, the future of nuclear power, and the threat of
terrorist use of nuclear weapons acquired from North Korea, Pakistan, or
Russia. He also discusses the "Reykjavik-2" initiative, a renewed
vision of a world free of nuclear weapons that was shared by President
Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev during their 1986
summit in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Martin E. Hellman, June 8, 2009
Dr. Martin Hellman, Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, is best known for his invention of public key cryptography, a technology used to securely make Internet credit card purchases. His current interest in nuclear arms control focuses on applying risk analysis to our traditional approach to preventing the use of nuclear weapons-nuclear deterrence. Hellman explains that the risk we face from reliance on nuclear weapons to deter an attack by aggressors is comparable to having your home surrounded by thousands of nuclear power plants. More than just discuss this problem, he proposes simple, practical, and effective steps that anyone can take to help avert a nuclear catastrophe.
