Encore presentation: Nuclear Weapons and Non-Violence
Manage episode 184211411 series 1176031
In July 2012, three protesters, an 84-year-old Catholic nun among them, broke into a secure facility in Oak Ridge, TN, where the United States stockpiles its highly enriched uranium. The break-in, in which fences were cut, slogans were painted, and human blood was poured on the facility’s walls, is widely known to be the most damaging and embarrassing incident in the US’s nuclear program’s history.
In this episode, we speak with Dan Zak, a Washington Post reporter who originally covered this story in 2013, and recently published his book entitled, “Almighty: Courage, Resistance, and Existential Peril in the Nuclear Age.” It’s August, and if you haven’t had your vacation yet, buy this book and get out on the beach right away. You’re in for a moral, ethical, and theological thriller of the highest order.
This is an encore presentation of this podcast, originally published a year ago. The book, "Almighty," is now available in paperback.
