Description
Wilko Graf von Hardenberg examines how the understanding of nuclear technology evolved within the biggest communist party of the western world and how ideology informed the approach of Party members to the scientific debate. He analyzes the political and social reasons that led the Party to move, within less than 15 years, from a pro-nuclear to an anti-nuclear position.
