Riassunto

Oppenheimer has claimed the accolade of the highest-growing biographical film of all time.

The dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 announced to the world that nuclear weapons were no longer the stuff of imagination. From its inception in 1941, the Manhattan Project saw some of the world's best physicists and engineers develop the most potent armament known to man.

In this book Al Cimino explains the events that led to President Roosevelt sanctioning the development of the bomb and recounts the dramatic story of how a gifted and often conflicted group of people, including Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard, devoted themselves to unlocking the secrets of nuclear fission.

The Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer (2023) has drawn new interest in The Manhattan Project.

Oppenheimer has claimed the accolade of the highest-grossing biographical film of all time.

Appeals to anyone interested in the history of science as well as World War II.
