NATION CONVERSATIONS
On September 19th, Nation editorial board member Kai Bird, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and author of American Prometheus, the book that inspired the hit film Oppenheimer, joined editorial director and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel and editor D.D. Guttenplan for a wide-ranging conversation about the life of the man who inspired this past summer’s blockbuster. Watch their full and robust conversation on Oppenheimer, the context of the Manhattan Project, the Cold War, and how and why his legacy remains relevant today.
