This non fiction book was quite eye opening. I have always been intrigued about the people who developed the atomic bomb. I have often wondered what remorse the physicists felt as they created this deadly weapon, yet understood the necessity of this weapon to end World War II.
This highly researched non fiction text chronicles the world wide race to build the atomic bomb; the spying, the sabotage of the German factories the containment of German physicists in England, and the feeding of the plans from one scientist working on the bomb to Russian KGB agents. The race to build the atomic bomb was a race to the end of the war, and the country that built it first would win the war.
This is a great book, containing a topic that is very interesting, and should be read by all to truly understand the impact that building such dangerous weapon has on society and those who created it.
Bomb, the Race to Build and Steal the Worlds Most Dangerous Weapon is a sophisticated book with a lot of information in it. It is for an advanced reader who is able to handle a lot of characters that need to be kept track of as you read.
