  • Very detailed.

    This book is very well written. It tells the story of the people who made the war winning weapon . The science of the project is over my head by a good bit, but the story of the people involved is very interesting. I highly recommend this book.

  • If you have an interest in science, this...

    If you have an interest in science, this book is a mini history of the subject in terms of the discovery of the atom and elements, and the evolution of knowledge about the energy stored within the nucleus. My third time through -- still fascinating, but I finally bought the book.
