The history of nuclear weapons between 1945 until 1963.

We've all heard of the atomic bomb - but in the late 1950s, an idea was conceived of a bomb which would maximise damage to people, but minimize damage to buildings and vital infrastructure: perfect for an occupying army. This is the story of a man and his bomb: a melding of world events and scientific discovery inspire the motivations of the self-professed creator of the Neutron Bomb - one of the most-hated nuclear weapons ever invented.
