I read that GOLDEN AGE series and first thought, Ted Knight's breakdown over guilt from his role in the A-bomb project was modern sensibilities projected into the past.
There were Manhattan Project scientists who committed suicide over what they had done. In most cases it took decades for them to reach that point, but claiming that everyone was okay with nuking a country (twice) that had within 50 years been just a half-step above third world technology and "cultural" levels--not to mention all the people, both those flash-fried, and those dying lingering deaths--wasn't just modern sensibilities.
