The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes is a comprehensive history. The author recounts the the human, scientific, and political details of how the bomb was developed. What began as an interesting speculative project in physics grew into the Manhattan Project and eventually the bomb. Scientists formerly known only to their peers such as Oppenheimer, Bohr, Teller, Lawrence and von Neumann stepped into the limelight. Richard Rhodes takes us in the journey from project to bomb and gives us the definitive story.
