Sad, agonizing attempt at revising history
This podcast is a disgrace to Leo Szilards legacy . He was a brilliant man whose genius greatly benefited our world today. This podcast is a sad, pathetic attempt of a 12 year old girl to revise history and make her grandfather seem like a man who desperately wanted to stop the atomic bomb from being used. Reading between the lines It is obvious that her great grandfather, Leo Szilard was far more interested in getting credit and monetary benefit from his work, rather than “saving the world”. As as soon as he was banned from the Manhattan project, determined to lead and control the project, as well as pushing the government to pay him for his patents, he tries to gain control by other means. The insight of this podcast as well as the presenter seems to be one of a young girl with no experience or perspective, embarrassed by her family’s legacy, trying to rewrite/revise this part of history. She naively holds to this idea that Leo Szilard was building the atomic bomb strictly for defensive purposes. That alone is a ridiculous self deception as in what world would someone build an atomic bomb for defensive purposes. And how could it have any preventative power if the world didn’t believe it existed. She can pretend that we were not at war, the Japan’s commitment to destruction and self preservation was less than it was. Leo Szilards work greatly benefited manking.

Being a science degree, the teaching was understandably heavy on the technicalities & maths but light on the politics & personalities. A few years later I read Richard...Read full review »
