In this week's episode we are going to look at the birth of the Manhattan project, and more specifically the moment where President Franklin Roosevelt made a crucial decision, similar to one that Napoleon failed to make hundreds of years before.

FDR recognized the convergence of necessity and genius and chose to take a risk by trusting men who had an idea that seemed to almost everyone else like a fantasy. And as a result of his decision, the world would move into a new nuclear age and never again be the same.
