Bomb
In 1938, a German chemist's discovery of uranium atom splitting ignited a global race for a new weapon. This book chronicles the intense efforts across continents, from Soviet espionage in Britain and the US to commando raids in Norway and the secret desert project at Los Alamos. It's the true story of the brilliant minds, dangerous risks, and critical decisions that led to the creation of the atomic bomb.
