WINNER OF THE HUBERT REEVES 2021 AWARD FOR SCIENCE COMMUNICATORS
It's a story peopled by leading figures of modern nuclear physics,
bold chemists, and scientists accused of spying. The one idea
driving them is to master the atom, whatever the result may be.
With war raging in Europe, the Allies worried about advances being
made by Germans scientists. The British wanted to get a jump ahead
of Hitler and the physicists working for the Third Reich. England
was too close to the enemy, so they decided to secretly establish a
nuclear research laboratory in Montreal. The best scientists moved
to Montreal with two goals in mind: develop an ultra-powerful bomb
and find a new source of energy. What started as cooperation with
the Americans instead became a race to harness the energy of the
atom when Washington launched the Manhattan project. Montreal and
the Bomb breathes new life into the exhilarating saga of European
scientists secretly developing a strategic nuclear laboratory in
the halls of the Universite de Montreal. It's a story peopled by
leading figures of modern physics, bold chemists, and scientists
accused of spying. The one idea driving them is to master the atom,
whatever the result may be.
