In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned 3 continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 10 and 18 year old girls love it
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

I was concerned that my girls weren't learning enough american history in school. I wanted a fun to read, but educational book that walked them both through the events leading up to the end of WWII. I am reading this book with my ten year old and I need to do some explaining, especially concerning the politics of the time, but it is well worth it and a great source of discussion. I highly recommend it for an introduction to the topic.
