Title: The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics
Author: Paul McCarthy
POV: Author, Paul McCarthy
Genre: Nonfiction
This book is an account of how nuclear weapons came to be and how nuclear weapons have developed up until now. From the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the Fat Boy bomb dropped on Nagasaki, to try to end World War 2. How dangerous they were to how dangerous weapons are now. It is a great reading if you’re interested in how nuclear weapons came to be and how they are even more deadly today. Filled with many references and sources showing Mr McCarthy researched a great deal.

It’s something you always know is there but it’s a scary when you actually read and stop to consider the amount of power that the military and world leaders have to access nuclear weapons.
Paul McCarthy gives us a fast-paced but thorough look at this technology that kills and that is in the hands of others and their whims and that one day it could be unleashed upon the world. God help us all if they should go on a power trip and unleash hell on earth.
His detailed writing gives the reader a science lesson in what a nuclear weapon is and its history and the destruction from the past and even scarier something that is easily imagined is what could be.
It makes me wonder what is in the minds of those that create or those that ordered such things to be created that could destroy us all. Do they feel any kind of remorse for what has been and what could be, or do they relish the power they have created? Do they feel compassion?
The Hand of God is one thought provoking book. It makes you feel, humble insignificant and powerless in comparison.
History does have a way of repeating itself and unfortunately, I don’t think that those in power and have not lived in a time where these weapons created so much devastation would think twice.
This thought-provoking book raises more questions.

Beginning with an explanation of what constitutes a nuclear weapon and the history behind the science and physics that led to the construction of the first atomic bomb, McCarthy leads us through a thorough explanation as to how the US was able to create the bombs dropped on Japan in 1945.
When Hitler forced so many of the best physicists in the world to emigrate to the US, Einstein and his colleagues knew that the Germans would be searching to create an Atomic Bomb and whoever got there first would have a war ending weapon. From this would come the idea behind the "Manhattan Project" that would succeed in building the Atomic Bombs that were to be dropped on Japan.
Immediately after Hiroshima/Nagasaki, the Russians began to build their own bomb, using much of the information they were able to acquire from spies who were working at both Los Alamos and in Tennessee and Washington State. When the Russians set off their first nuclear bomb within three years, the US no longer was the world's only nuclear power. Now began a race with other countries to acquire their own bombs.
Now that the USSR had the Atomic Bomb, Edward Teller working with the scientists at Los Alamos created the first Thermo-Nuclear device which is many times the strength of an A-Bomb. After discussing the concepts that led to the development of the Nuclear Triad system set-up by the US to protect itself from a nuclear attack.
The latter part of the book is the most important and informative of what is the danger of having too many of these weapons (how many times do you have to be able to destroy the world) and the dangers of the "wrong" people getting their hands on a bomb.
McCarthy has done a yeoman's job in taking on this subject and it's a book that important for everyone to read.

The development of nuclear warfare has been ongoing for over a century now and it doesn't show any sign of stopping, so when that reality hits, it is best to at least have a heads up on what exactly it entails. This is where this book comes in, it has a breakdown of parts ranging from the scientific history, the weapons themselves, as well as the differences between the approaches of different countries as this development occured, but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart or easily perturbed due to the subject matter within.
In part one, is the outline of the who, what, where and how of the steps taken to identify and understand nuclear weapons and exactly what happens inside them.
Part two speaks about the reactions of the different countries and their races to become the top of the nuclear weapons food chain, including the threat level each country has to the others.
Part three talks about the weapons in more detail, how they work and who has control over them, as well as when and how they are deployed.
Part four discusses the affects of the aftermath of these weapons and what the resulting radiation can do to the human body and the natural world.
Finally, part five discussed the future of this technology and what this means for the future generations as well as discussing some of the moral and ethical implications of what this might mean.
This is a work of non-fiction which is easy to understand, interesting to anyone, no matter what their level of prior knowledge is, as well as being straight forward, to the point and a great introduction to the subject with plenty of further reading cited at the end.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
A frightening read, not for the faint hearted, it should engender a sense of fear and awe, its pragmatic in its layout, information, written with skill and depth if only we and those that make policy read this sobering book we would never ever think of using nuclear weapons on each other again. Maybe we have learnt from our past attempts with Hiroshima and Nagasaki to obliterate a county at war - never again have we used them in anger. The downside is we continue to create and arsenal of weapons of magnitude that we are capable of eradicating all life with very fewer and smaller bombs. I enjoyed the history, the near misses, how nuclear science began (for good remember x rays), the race to use and protect, types of nuclear bombs, how they are delivered, how they work and copious references to ensure the facts are facts not sensationalism. Read it and remember.

I enjoyed this book. I think it provided a good basic background to the science and weaponization of the atom. But the book did better at discussing the associated political and historical information. There are a lot of good books on this subject, but this book’s strength is its broad scope, which is a good starting point for future reading. I also think it is important to read McCarthy’s honest Foreword where he sets out his objectives for the book. In my opinion, he accomplishes these. I would have preferred, however, where McCarthy compares the various bombs and missiles, etc to have placed things like dimensions in a table, which would have made it easier to parse the comparisons. Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics is A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy. This is more than just a history lesson on the development of Nuclear weapons- it gives us an insight into the science behind the development, the types of nuclear weapons, the various delivery systems, the dangers, some of the near misses that have only just avoided complete annihilation, politics, and more.
I found this to be quite informative and insightful. We all know the destruction that nuclear weapons can cause- but this really opened my eyes to something I probably should have thought more about, before reading this book. It certainly made think- especially in this day and age. Quite sobering really.
Well worth the read…
Thank you, Paul McCarthy!

This was an interesting and thought provoking read into the history of nuclear weapons, how they are made, who's idea were they, and what happens when they fell into the wrong hands. It is an eye opening read about a subject we hear about but don't really pay attention to. This book had made me realise that we do need to pay attention. It is terrifying to think of the power and how much damage could be causes and innocent people lives lost from the production and use of nuclear weapons.
The author does an incredible job of making the material in the book book informative and engaging and it is written in a way that makes the reader feel good as it's easy to understand. It is a scary but interesting topic and makes you realise just how insignificant the human race are. We are literally creating the weapons that could one day end up the destroying us.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics by Paul McCarthy. This is not my typical read but it is a very interesting read. It is a Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons all they way. It explains in great detail what exactly a nuclear weapon is and how they are used. It is written to where even I could understand all of it. Knowing exactly what and how these Nuclear Weapons could be used are equal parts terrifying and cool. The examples they used such as dropping a bomb on New York and the damage it could do was absolutely horrifying. When I was a kid I was terrified of Nuclear Weapons and now we don't think twice, in reality we should really be terrified now. The power of these weapons is incredible and very much a possibility. I feel so much more knowledgeable on the powers of Nuclear Weapons due to this book. Great job Paul McCarthy!

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics is a fast-paced, insightful, and detailed look into nuclear weapons. The author does a fantastic job of describing what a nuclear weapon is, the science behind them, and a bit of the history of their development. From the basic science of what an atom is and how it became weaponized to the politics involved in the use of nuclear weapons and the dangers of them. The book is well written, easy to read, and informative. It is written in a manner that is easy to follow and could easily be understood by anyone. It is a real eye opener of the dangers of nuclear weapons and how easily they could be used to eradicate life as we know it. It was humbling, terrifying, sobering, and thought provoking. Not a book that I would typically read but I am glad that I did.

The Hand of God by Paul McCarthy is a fascinating and equally concerning look into the dangerous world of Nuclear Weaponry. The impact that this could have on the human race and our world as we know it is terrifying, and to think we don't hardly bat an eyelash anymore at the mention of nuclear war is just frightening to me personally. 'Why are there not more people paying closer attention', is a thought that frequented my mind as I read along. There is a lot to unpack here and I mean is that we all should really be doing our due diligence as a human race to protect ourselves from this madness. Well written, well researched. I appreciate everything the author did here and I look forward to future writings.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics by Paul McCarthy
The Hand of God is history suspense that teaches us the history of nuclear weapons and how they can be used. I was fascinated by the cover but a little hesitant about reading as nuclear weapons isn’t really my thing. But I’m glad I did. It’s a fast-paced eye opener and a bit scary at the same time. Its thought provoking and really makes you think. I know know and understand more about nuclear weapons and the power behind them and of course the political side. I’m glad I jumped into this not knowing what exactly to expect because I learned so much. I recommend reading this fast-paced book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

The Hand of God
By: Paul McCartney
This is the absolute most informative book I have ever read. I did not know much about nuclear weapons when I started this book and I picked it up because it sounded intriguing. This delivers on being a crash course into nuclear power. I was concerned at first about reading this because I was a little worried that it was going to be heavy or hard on technical terms. However, that is not the case. It is actually an easy read that gave me so much information. I feel much more knowledgeable about the history of nuclear weapons and I definitely feel like I have a much better understanding of them. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is interested in finding out more about nuclear weapons. It was so well written and easy to read!

This was very much a riveting read. I am not particularly scientifically literate, but this book definitely gave me a crash course in the lead up to the nuclear arms race. I felt the author did an amazing job of taking such a complex subject and breaking it down into such easy to read sections I felt confident that I was able to understand what he was writing about. This book definitely had me feeling a sense of both awe and fear for how much damage has been done with nuclear weapons. If you are looking for an easy to read, but fairly comprehensive book on nuclear war, this is a great book to start with. The book has a giant list of references as well, that would be great follow ups.

This book is a brilliant overview of nuclear weapons and the impact they have had over the course of history. It is and insightful and interesting book that offers a great perspective. This isn’t usually the type of book that I would go for, but something about it caught my eye and I couldn’t wait to delve into it.
The author has done a great job of splitting the subject up into manageable sections. The initial section was invaluable with the physics refresher it offered. I think it made the whole book much more understandable and easy to digest. This was a different book to my normal go to but I would definitely recommend it.

The Hand of god by Paul McCarthy is an all encompassing book on the topic of Nuclear weapons. McCarthy goes into a great deal of detail from the history and science behind it, to the cold war, and beyond. While some points were very lengthy and very mathematical, I enjoyed the level of information to further my understanding of this topic. I also enjoyed the human aspect he brought into the end of this book as well as the stories he touched on of the effects on the humans who went through those horrible points of history.
If you are learning or interested in nuclear science, the Manhattan project, or the sciences of war, this book is perfect for that!

While non-fiction isn’t my go-to genre, this book was absolutely astounding! I wasn’t sure what to expect going into it, so keeping an open mind helped. I feel like I gained a substantial amount of knowledge from the way this author presented information. One of the reasons I don’t read non-fiction as much is because it can feel like information overload. This author did amazing in presenting a great amount of knowledge, but tying other things in so that it isn’t dry. I really enjoyed learning about the history and science behind nuclear weapons. It definitely gives you plenty to think about! I would recommend this book to everyone, even if it doesn’t seem like your cup of tea!
September 28, 2023
I’ve read other informational type reads, where parts of it lag on and focus on stating facts. This one was pretty fast paced and interesting in making connections to different weapons and its conflicts along the way. It also brings into account the different political leaders involved within these conflicts as well as the different weaponry. I can tell you that I do not have any military or enforcement type background but even without the knowledge and probably just some history knowledge, I found this to be a very interesting read. This is a great source for those doing research on certain time periods or writing their books and need supported content.
September 12, 2023
Wow, good read. This book is so informative and scary. I really liked learning the history of the atomic bomb and nuclear weapons, some of which most already know of, dating back to Madam Curie. Hiroshima and Nagasaki still weigh on me and I can’t comprehend all of the death. I really like the glimpse into having bomb dropped in New York, how far it’s reach would be and what would occur afterwards. It was nice to see the breakdown of what to do in the event of a nuclear fall out as well. The whole book was very well researched and thought out, and a very intriguing read.
September 20, 2023
This is an interesting book that I would not normally pick up but I’m glad I did. This is a new author for me. I enjoyed his writing style and his attention to details that made the book easy to read. This is a book that contains information on nuclear weapons and about the people who developed them. You will learn things that you didn’t know before about where nuclear weapons development comes from. I found this book interesting and fast paced. A book that would be great for anyone interested in this type of thing. I highly recommend this book.

A good primer on nuclear weapons, their history, application, issues, etc. I’m a fan of the history of technology and learned a few things from this reading. The work is well organized allowing readers to focus on specific topics and very comprehensive for it’s size. My only stick is, it might need a edit once over. There were a handful of small historic typos which I think a good review would easily have found. Recommended for anyone wanting to understand deeper this profound world changing technology.
September 6, 2023
After reading this book, I now understand more about nuclear weapons, the effects of nuclear weapons, and the political aspect of nuclear weapons than I did before. I love how the author explains to us readers who don’t know all the scientific terms into simpler terms that we can understand it. There are a lot of facts about the topic that I did not know. I like how the author incorporates all aspects of the nuclear weapons. All in all, it’s a very good read.
September 16, 2023
So I've always had a love for the Manhattan project for WWII, and I JUMPED at the chance to read this book when I saw it. It's obvious the author knows what he's talking about and he's very clear and consise about everything that he writes. It is a crash course in the physics and the department of nuclear research and energy sources, but the way it's written makes a lot of sense to me. I very much enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to checking out some more of his works!
September 18, 2023
This book is a casual exploration into nuclear weapons and its history. McCarthy provides a captivating historical insight and easy to understand language all to understand. From the Manhattan project to Broken arrows to Doomday to the future. The reader can read all about nuclear progress. I found the history fascinating as I wondered how nuclear fusion was invented and by whom. This was definitely an interesting read!
September 25, 2023
This book was completely out of my norm; however, I really did enjoy it. McCarthy is NOT KIDDING when he says it's a "crash course on nuclear weapons." But don't let that intimidate you…this was very easy to read and understand and it moves fairly quickly so you don't lose interest. On a deeper level, the book does look at moral issues and there is some discussion there. If you are interested in nuclear history, politics, war, etc. I would definitely recommend this book.
September 26, 2023
Wow, this book is chock full of information on the subject of the nuclear age. I didn’t know much about nuclear bombs when I first picked up this book, but now I feel I have a better understanding overall. The author does a great job detailing all subjects that he covers. It’s both enthralling and terrifying to learn so much about these bombs. He does a great job keeping the facts flowing and it was easy to pick up and read. It’s definitely worth the read!

Without being too heavy on the scientific details, this book was a good read. The author provided enough details for me to feel good about my so-called intelligence. At the same time, I was not overwhelmed by the scientific details. This book is very timely, what with the popular movie based on the same subject area having hit the theaters recently. I feel confident that, having read this piece, I can contribute to intelligent discourse around me.

Insightful and mind blowing.....this book made me learn and think. I know a little bit about nuclear weapons but definitely got a closer look and deeper than I could possibly imagine. The author did a great job teaching and explaining while I was reading to simplify for me to understand.
This book is very eye opening....
