1.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

3.Arsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms RaceArsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race
from Knopf
Price: $19.11

Customer Review:
Since 1984, when I was permitted to teach a law school seminar which I laughingly called "Law and World Peace," I have read several thousand books on "the peace issue." Of those over 3,000 books, I believe that this is the BEST one! It gives a full feel for the reasons why we do need to replace... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
Richard Rhodes' 1995 "Dark Sun" is the well-written and provocative sequel to his Pulizter Prize-winning "The Making of the Atomic Bomb." "Dark Sun", with some overlap, picks up the story with intertwined narratives about the making of the thermonuclear bomb, the espionage that allowed the Soviets... more info

from Joseph Henry Press
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
I have read many of the books on the Manhatten project but I really like this one because it focused in on one part plutonium. If you really want the whole story read The Making of the Atomic Bomb.
Second it gave you a history of each of the scientists involved in the discoveries.

from Wiley
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
I used to be a torpedo "cook-off" believer,however without advocating one way or the other, the author has convinced me she just lost depth control and imploded, just like Thresher, but we will never probably know how she lost depth control. There are still aspects of Soviet involvement I am... more info

from Thomas Nelson
Price: $17.81

Customer Review:
I haven't read this book, so I wish I didn't have to rate it, just to add a comment. Unfortunately, Amazon requires a rating. So I gave it a "middling" rating of 3 stars.
The topic is certainly timely and important. The book might be excellent, and it might be accurate... but I fear that it... more info
