Synopsis
Established in 1942, the Manhattan Project brought together an international team of scientists in a top secret quest: beating the s to the atomic bomb. Their 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man' bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In one terrible swoop humans could now kill potentially millions of fellow humans. It was the dawn of a new age - in war, in politics and, so Jeff Hughes deftly explains, in science.

Book Description
This absorbing history revisits the interactions among science, the national interest, and public and private funding that was initiated in World War I and flourished in WWII. It then follows the Manhattan Project from inception to dissolution, describing the primary influences that helped execute the world's first successful plan for nuclear research and tracing the lineages of modern national nuclear agencies back to their source.
