one sentence summary:
the history of the atomic bomb.
review:
from a non-academic stand point this was a fantastic read. Really interesting with the perfect mix of anecdotes and scientific fact. A fascinating look at both the people behind the discovery and the politics of the era. It also is a really concise and easy to understand explanation of the race to build the bomb and who was winning when, why and how. By framing the facts in a fascinating story this is a beneficial read for anyone interested in WWII or the Cold War.
8/10
