This is a behind-the-scenes tale of the development of atomic energy and the atom bomb. No detail is spared. Never-before-known activity is revealed. Multiple connections are evident, as is a more global involvement in weapons development.

Post-bomb stories are included, and the great impact on mankind is evident. This puts a different spin on World War II since we now see both sides, and the true horror of the atom bombs.

You may, as I did, discover that your own family was involved, if only peripherally, in this rush to create the ultimate bomb.
