Sinossi
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE
The Making of the Atomic Bomb is the seminal and complete story of how the bomb was developed, from the turn-of-the-century discovery of the vast energy locked inside the atom to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan.
Few great discoveries have evolved so swiftly - or have been so misunderstood. From the theoretical discussions of nuclear energy to the bright glare of Trinity, there was a span of hardly more than twenty-five years. What began as merely an interesting speculative problem in physics grew into the Manhattan Project, and then into the bomb, with frightening rapidity, while scientists known only to their peers - Szilard, Teller, Oppenheimer, Bohr, Meitner, Fermi, Lawrence and von Neumann - stepped from their ivory towers into the limelight.
Richard Rhodes gives the definitive story of man's most awesome discovery and invention. Told in rich human, political and scientific detail, The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a narrative tour de force and a document with literary power commensurate with its subject.

Recensione
'A stirring intellectual adventure, and a clear, fast-paced and indispensable history of events on which our future depends' Carl Sagan
'The best, the richest, and the deepest description of the development of physics in the first half of this century that I have yet read, and certainly the most enjoyable' Isaac Asimov
'The comprehensive history of the bomb-and also a work of literature' Tracy Kidder
'A monumental and enthralling history...alive and vibrant in the book are all the scientists...and each human being stands vividly revealed as a man of science, of conscience, of doubts or of hubris' San Francisco Chronicle
