Great buy of a great product!

This finally, is the release of a terrific 10 part mini-series from the BBC in the 1980's about one of the most interesting figures in the group which built the bomb. Terrific peerformance by a young Sam Waterston. This was unavailable for years first on DVD by the BBC and then in the proper format for the US. I had to order this from Britain and then buy a DVD player that I coudl hack to play it in the US format. No longer. If this subject is of interest to you, buy this immediately!Read full review

Atomic Intrigue

I ordered this for a friend who worked in hush-hush caverns of the Army's intelligence community. He loves the DVD and thanked me profusely for it. Therefore, I conclude it must be good because he knows what he's talking about when it comes to this type documentary. Thanks!Read full review

Waterston is great.

I watched this series when it originally aired. The DVD is not as good as I recall, but it is still pretty good.
