The Sony Award-winning investigative history series continues as Mike Thomson unearths another document that sheds new light on past events.
2: Britain's Brilliant Bluff. In 1954 Winston Churchill demanded that Britain join the club of nations that possessed the devastating hydrogen bomb. A scientific and political scramble for solutions and results followed but by the summer of 1957 Britain was demonstrating its new H-bomb to the world's press off Christmas Island in the Pacific. Yet now a trail of documents and eye witness accounts gives the lie to public statements made at the time and discovers that Britain's new international status symbol was not all it Seemed.
