Beatrice Fihn, Daily Beast: What ‘Game of Thrones’ Taught Us About Nuclear Devastation

“Atomic bombs are primarily a means for the ruthless annihilation of cities.”

Famed physicist Leo Szilard wrote those words in 1945, entreating President Harry Truman to give Japan a chance to surrender before using the nuclear weapons Szilard had been instrumental in developing.

It is used to wipe out women and children and unarmed people, and not for military uses.”
