Produktinformationen zu „Before the Fall-Out “
Spanning fifty years, BEFORE THE FALL-OUT tells the full story of how an exhilarating quest to unravel the secrets of the material world produced the knowledge of how to destroy it. And of how a scientific adventure shared openly between nuclear physicists from many different nations transmuted into a secretive wartime race for the ultimate weapon of mass destruction - the atomic bomb. A Manhattan Project scientist said that the only secret of the bomb was that it could be made: once this was known, any nation could replicate it. BEFORE THE FALL-OUT helps us make better sense of our own, dangerous world and of the threats and moral dilemmas that face our society today.
