atomic bomb
The Atomic Bomb by Jim Baggot... This book takes us on an exciting and terrifying journey at the same time. A realistic human drama that exceeds all the imaginations of writers and artists, it provides us with a hearty meal, in which science and history are mixed with biography and spy adventures with conflicts of interests and beliefs. It all begins with the discovery of nuclear fission in a world rife with conflict. We see how politics and the drama of life manipulated the most famous scientists. How they conjured the mighty genie with innate, primitive human motives. We gasp as we follow the frenzied conflict and Bagot's graceful narration moves us between laboratories in Germany, Britain, France, America, and the Soviet Union, between heads of state, politicians, and soldiers, and battles on the ground and in secret in secret encrypted telegrams and dangerous leaks. This book is not only about the atomic bomb, and it does not only reveal its secrets and the secrets of that inflammatory period, but it also reveals to us man and his nature when he is at his weakest state. The book reflects on difficult moral dilemmas and calls on us to assume our responsibilities towards ourselves and the world. This is an essential book for anyone interested in science, history, politics, and ethics. It comes in a distinctive narration, closer to a long novel that takes the breath away, moves the heart, and stirs the mind.
