1.HiroshimaHiroshima
from Vintage
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
I assigned this book to my AP and Dual credit kids to give them an idea of what occurred during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I explained the events, showed pictures, but nothing prepared them for what they read in this book. This book is second only to accounts of the Jewish Holocaust in... more info

2.The Making of the Atomic BombThe Making of the Atomic Bomb
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
I am an amateur scholar of the Manhattan Project, its consequences and the weapons programmes of other nations. I have approx. 3 metres of book shelf space devoted these topics. This volume is Rhodes' masterwork, the best, most comprehensive book on the subject. Pief Panofsky thought so, too.more info

from Vintage
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Just imagine, an American kid, rich for the times, with a saintly brother, the mind of a polymath, and a knack for atomic physics. Sounds like trouble?

Richard Rhodes' 1995 "Dark Sun" is the well-written and provocative sequel to his Pulizter Prize-winning "The Making of the Atomic Bomb."

The 4th graders in my school read this book in their regular reading classes, and so they were ready to have some great discussions in art class about the book.
