History Rage

Bonus Episode - Paris Agar on Nuclear Testing


Listen Later

We have a bonus episode for you to kick off Season Four. We are joined by head of Cold War and Late 20th Century Conflict from Imperial War Museums Duxford, Paris Agar. Paris is here, at the 70th anniversary week of the start of British nuclear testing to rage that the world has detonated far more unclear weapons than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Paris talks about how Britain was involved in nuclear weapons right from the start of the Manhattan Project. She talks about the US splitting and severing ties with Britain leading Britain to develop her own and what the impact of our own nuclear tests have been.

You can find out more about this fascinating era by searching the online oral histories though IWM Collections online and you can get information on all the Imperial War Museums at their here.

Further to this, anyone who wishes to engage with, or support, the work of the British Nuclear Test Veterans Association can do so at their website here.
