Website Spotlight: Race for the Superbomb


Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

In the "Reference" section: Don't miss the impressively-rich array of interview transcripts with program participants.

The primary sources are equally complete.

II. Special Features

"Destruction of a Nuclear Blast"

"Tour a Secret Government Bunker" at the Greenbrier Resort

III. Timeline

Effective, as expected from American Experience.

IV. Maps

Pay particular attention to the map showing locations of Nuclear Weapons Test Sites.

V. People & Events

This section is also rich-- in its coverage of both people and events.

VI. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.


On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S. History survey course module:
