Nelson Mandela, South Africa's nationalist leader, first uttered these words in 1964 at his trial for treason, sabotage, and conspiracy to overthrow the apartheid government of his country. Convicted of those charges, he spent the next twenty- seven years in prison, sometimes working at hard labor in a stone quarry. Often the floor was his bed, and a bucket was his toilet. He was allowed one visitor a year for thirty minutes and permitted to write and receive one letter every six months. When he was finally released from prison in 1990 under growing domestic and international pressure, he concluded his first speech as a free person with the words originally spoken at his trial.

Ch. 22

The Hydrogen Bomb during the 1950 and early 1960, tests in the atmosphere of ever larger and more sophisticated hydrogen bombs made images of enormous fireballs and mushroom- shaped clouds the universal symbol of these weapons, which were immensely more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. the American test pictured here took place in 1957.
A single bomb in a single instant could obliterate any major city in the world.
