by Adrian Weale (Author)
It is the story of mankind's deadliest discovery, in the words of those who were there. Their voices include the scientists who unravelled and then unleashed the secrets of the atom, like Rutherford and Oppenheimar, the US pilots who flew the first nuclear mission to Japan, and the countless victims of the horrendous explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The book contains accounts of the science, warfare, terror, compassion and realpolitik that have shaped the modern world, and which could end it at the press of a button.
