Nuclear Negligence - The Story of Operation Crossroads

A mini documentary on the first atomic bomb tests after World War II.

There is so much more to say about this event that I couldn't fit in the video, and I'd love to do a follow up or Q&A if interest permits. I see the tests as a sort of historical bridge between WWII and the Cold War, and the ins and outs of Operation Crossroads reached further into US nuclear policy and Cold War history than I could have imagined when I started researching, so there is plenty more to say!

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more mini documentaries!
