'Political intrigue, the arms race, early developments of nuclear
science, espionage and more are all present in this gripping book
... The book is crisply written and well worth the read. The text
includes a number of translated segments of official documents plus
extracts from memoirs of some of the people involved. So, although
Pondrom sprinkles his opinions throughout, there is sufficient
material to permit readers to make their own judgements. 'CERN The
book describes the lives of the people who gave Stalin his weapon -
scientists, engineers, managers, and prisoners during the early
post war years from 1945-1953. Many anecdotes and vicissitudes of
life at that time in the Soviet Union accompany considerable
technical information regarding the solutions to formidable
problems of nuclear weapons development. The contents should
interest the reader who wants to learn more about this part of the
history and politics in 20th century physics. The prevention of
nuclear proliferation is a topic of current interest, and the
procedure followed by the Soviet Union as described in this book
will help to understand the complexities involved.
