The making of the atomic bomb is one of history’s most amazing examples of teamwork and genius and poise under pressure. Sheinkin weaves together the stories of some of the 20th century’s most famous and notorious figures-the ingenious, courageous, and patriotic, as well as the deceitful, ruthless, and calculating-in this gripping novel on the weapons that ended the most destructive war in the history of the world. Extensively researched, Bomb employs primary sources from declassified FBI files to simultaneously tell of Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project, Soviet espionage, and Allied efforts to sabotage Nazi Germany’s ability to develop the bomb first. In Bomb: The Race to Build -And Steal-The World’s Most Dangerous Weapon, Steve Sheinkin introduces young readers to the many plots and subplots involved in the creation of the world’s first nuclear bomb.
