  The Making of the Atomic Bomb

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Aug-02-2009

  • Impressive in scope, somewhat difficult to read
  • As many have said, the amount of research that went into this book, and the resultant detail, was phenomenal.
    
    I'm glad I bought and read the book. It gave me insights and understanding...

  • Exhaustive History Lesson, tendentious view of "Science."

    THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB provides a valuable insight into the developments within physics and chemistry which directly lead to the Manhattan Project...

  • Overhyped
  • I have read (struggled through!) the first 300 pages of this book and am sorry I started it. If your only intent in life was to read minute scientific details of every snippet of conversation,...

  Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Sep-22-2009

  • This book is fascinating.
  • I read the making of the atomic bomb by the same author and remianed fascinated for 800 pages. This book is equally marvelous. The previous book dealt with the advances in science and the people...

  • Not an Impressive Follow-up
  • The Pulitzer Prize-winning treatise "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" (1987) was the well-deserved claim-to-fame for American journalist and historian Richard Rhodes. The deservedly eminent nuclear...

  • A somewhat misleading book
  • I was disappointed in this book. It was primarily a history of Soviet Espionage in the atomic era with very little in the way of history and details about the hydrogen bomb. It details...

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Sep-24-2009

  • Thought-provoking technology history
  • This book has been required reading for the Technology and Society course I teach for more than five years. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't go out of print because it presents a...
