Fred Kaplan
Author and historian
Author and historian Fred Kaplan discusses his new book, “The Bomb,” which takes readers behind the scenes for a look at how American presidents and generals have thought about, threatened, broached, and, in some cases, just barely avoided nuclear war, from the dawn of the atomic age until now.
