Description

This Routledge academic study examines the pivotal role of Soviet science and engineering during the intensifying Cold War of the 1950s, when scientific talent was mobilised across both superpowers for military-related research and development projects. The book explores how the Soviet Union rapidly developed nuclear weapons contrary to Western expectations, and traces the path toward the Atomic Age as civil nuclear operations commenced by decade's end. Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine series, this work provides scholarly insight into the geopolitical competition that drove technological advancement and shaped Cold War history through the lens of Soviet scientific achievement and state-directed research programmes.
