The Making of the Atomic Bomb

by Richard Rhodes · 1986

★★★★★ 5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
The definitive history of the Manhattan Project, from Rutherford's lab to Trinity and Hiroshima. Rhodes spent years on it and it shows — every page is exact, every detail earned.
Allo's take
Possibly the greatest work of popular history in English. Rhodes makes the physics comprehensible and the human cost of every discovery palpable.
