How Science Controlled The Politics Of The Cold War

In this episode, we look at how science and technology was funded for war. Fuelled a new golden age of science, biological research was used to create terrible weapons. Earth sciences like seismology and meteorology were used to detect secret warhead tests and track possible fallout patterns. Science itself became the greatest weapon of war.

Cold War: The Tech Race tells the story of the war's most influential front: the race for scientific supremacy. It was a war that brought the world to the brink of destruction. Through a mix of expert interview, revelatory archival footage, and enlightening graphics that breathe life into evolving technologies, we reveal the true story of these science and engineering wonders: from Cold War origins to now.
