In nanoseconds, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of W.W.II forever changed the nature of warfare and how nations would relate to each other. War reached its zenith. A Commitment To Peace looks closely at how the following Cold War years were complicated by personalities, ideologies, old fears and new visions. Unlocking the secrets of the universe would be relatively easy compared to finding the formula for peace. A Commitment To Peace is illustrated with remarkable archival film and photography of nuclear weapons and testing. Featured are top nuclear physicists including Harold Agnew and Herbert York who served as directors of our top nuclear weapons labs at Los Alamos and Livermore. Also participating are top historians including Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes. Survivor of the atomic bombing in Japan, Shigeru Aoki poignantly describes the horrors he witnessed. A Commitment To Peace is extremely relevant for today as America again grapples with national defense issues. This important history provides valuable insight into the need for peace in a highly technological world. Suggested Scheduling: 2002 is the 57th anniversary of two events: July 16th, 1945 the first atomic bomb (Trinity) detonation; August 6, 1945, the dropping bomb on Hiroshima; or January 1st World Peace Day.
