YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In a 1965 interview with CBS News, J. Robert Oppenheimer said about the atomic bomb, "The ending of the war by this means, certainly cruel, was not undertaken lightly. But I am not, as of today, confident that a better course was then open. I have not a very good answer to this question."
