In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a
shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a
Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a
scientific race that spanned 3 continents. In Great Britain and the
United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific
community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines
to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert,
one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site
at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking,
the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable
weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb.
