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.
