The "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb", the force behind Reagan's Star Wars initiative, and the model for "Dr. Strangelove" was a Hungarian math prodigy who fled Hitler's Germany.

Teller's story is told here in his own voice, and by many of the other leading scientists from the dawn of the nuclear age.
