Description & Specifications

From the Big Bang to Hiroshima, the incredible story of the most destructive weapon ever invented.

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 in the morning, an explosive charge exceeding 15 kilotons dropped on the city of Hiroshima. Tens of thousands of people were leveled, and everything within four square miles was instantly destroyed. A barrage of flame and ash had just caused Japan's greatest trauma and forever changed the course of modern warfare and life on Earth.

The world was terrified by the existence of the bomb—the first weapon of mass destruction. But how could such a heinous tool be invented? To answer this question, Alcante, Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, and Denis Rodier turn back to the roots of its main ingredient, uranium, and shed light on the scientific discoveries surrounding this element and its uses both in civil and military contexts.

Traversing history, from Katanga to Japan, through Germany, Norway, the USSR, and New Mexico, The Bomb is a succession of incredible but true stories. Alcante, Bollée, and Rodier have created an exhaustive and definitive non-fiction work that describes the stories of the anonymous protagonists, as well as the remarkable men and women at the core of its history and the events that followed.
