SBS 2 19 June 2012 20:30 AEST - Part 2 of The Trials of J Robert Oppenheimer

Part 2 of the documentary "The The Trials of J Robert Oppenheimer" is aired
on SBS 2 tonight.

Playing out like a modern day Greek tragedy, the figures of Lewis Strauss,
Edward Teller and J Edgar Hoover become hell bent to crush the man
who had played such a pivotal role in the development of the A-bomb and thus had
helped bring WWII to a more rapid conclusion, yet now saw the implicit danger of
getting into an arms race with the H-bomb.

Thanks for the heads up Gary. I've got a feeling I may have seen this before, but I'll be watching it again this time!

A very well produced series so far. The first half was very informative, and somewhat angering. After watching the DiCaprio movie "J Edgar" the other day, I can understand the depth of Oppenheimer's issue. Looking forward to the next instalment.
