If the first 270 pages of this book had been published separately, they would have made up a lively, insightful, beautifully written history of theoretical physics and the men and women who plumbed the mysteries of the atom. Along with the following 600 pages, they become a sweeping epic, filled with terror and pity, of the ultimate scientific quest: the development of the ultimate weapon. Rhodes is a peerless explainer of difficult concepts; he is even better at chronicling the personalities who made the discoveries that led to the Bomb. Niels Bohr dominates the first half of the book as J. Robert Oppenheimer does the second; both men were gifted philosophers of science as well as brilliant physicists. The central irony of this book, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, is that the greatest minds of the century contributed to the greatest destructive force in history.

A huge panorama of man's most revolutionary invention Novembre 20, 2000
SC Hare (Paris, France)
In all of its aspects - historical, political and technical - the book has been researched in incredible detail. Starting with the personalities and ideas surrounding the discovery of radioactivity at the start of this century, it follows the evolution of ideas, theory, personalities and politics towards the realisation of atomic and hydrogen bombs. Despite its formidable thickness, it is difficult to put down once embarked upon.
