Central Connecticut State University
In Meeting the Demands of Reason: The Life & Thought of Andrei Sakharov, Jay Bergman explores the life of Nobel Peace Prize winner Andrei Sakharov. Born in Russia, Sakharov became a prominent nuclear physicist in Soviet Russia, earning many awards for his work on the hydrogen bomb in the 1940’s. As time progressed, however, Sakharov became increasingly concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the impact of testing on the environment. Bergman explores the life of Sakharov as he eventually becomes one of the best known Russian dissidents.
