the book mentioned early on -- The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes -- is one of my favorite pieces of nonfiction. i can't recommend it highly enough, it's totally engrossing.
also, really fantastic photos in this! the copy could use a little work though.
Rhodes' layout of the early 20th century physics discoveries that lead to the atomic bomb is engaging all by itself. Who knew it would matter whether your lab benches were made of wood or granite?
