About the author
Richard G. Hewlett is best known as a historian of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and as co-author of A History of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. His writing helped explain how the American nuclear program grew out of wartime research and became a major part of federal policy, science, and national defense.
He is especially notable because he wrote about the atomic energy establishment from close to the source, producing work that has been widely preserved and referenced by libraries and public institutions. For listeners interested in the history of government, technology, and the nuclear era, his books offer a clear window into the people and decisions that shaped the early atomic age.
