This comprehensive history starts in the 19th century with the discovery of nuclear fission and goes on to cover World War II and the race of the Americans to defeat the Nazis under Hitler. This contest served as the impetus for the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the rapid development of a huge military-industrial complex and the fateful dropping of the first bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
From FDR and Einstein to the visionary scientists who developed quantum theory and the application of thermonuclear fission, including Planck, Szilard, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Teller, Meitner, von Neumann, and Lawrence, the book introduces the players in this saga of physics, politics, and human psychology.
