Restricted Data: The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States

You’re Invited!

On July 21, join Alex Wellerstein, professor and nuclear historian at Stevens Institute of Technology, in conversation with Lynn Eden, senior research scholar emeritus at Stanford University, to discuss Wellerstein’s recent book, Restricted Data: The History of Nuclear Secrecy in the United States. If secrecy and science form the bedrock of the Atomic Age, what does this mean for a path forward?

“This book is fascinating, essential reading not only for what it tells us about the origins and workings of America’s national security state but also for what it reveals about the nuclear dilemma we still face today: freedom or the illusion of safety.”

—Eric Schlosser, author of Command and Control and Fast Food Nation
