Description

Explore a transformative era in global history with Soviet Science and Engineering in the Shadow of the Cold War. Published by Routledge as part of their specialized studies in the history of science, technology and medicine, this book examines the 1950s, a decade that changed the course of scientific development forever. As the Cold War intensified, scientific talent across the globe was mobilized for military-related research and development. This work looks at how the Soviet Union responded to these pressures, achieving rapid success in nuclear weapon development. This achievement defied the expectations of key figures like General Leslie Groves of the Manhattan Project. Readers will trace the path from intense military competition to the dawn of the Atomic Age. The text covers the transition toward the operation of the world's first civil nuclear facilities, marking a major shift in how science and technology impacted society. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of science, technology, and the social sciences during the mid-20th century.
