This audiobook explores the history of the Atomic Bomb in World War II, and uncovers Robert Oppenheimer's mysterious role as its visionary leader.
As the world plunged into war, Oppenheimer found himself at the centre of a moral and scientific dilemma. Could science save humanity, or would it be its downfall?
With gripping narratives and meticulous research, this book takes you on a riveting journey from the Manhattan Project to the Atomic Bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaka, traversing the landscapes of WWII, and the nuclear age aftermath.
Here are some of the highlights:
- J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant, but troubled physicist who played a key role in the development of the Atomic Bomb
- Explore the turbulent backdrop of World War II, where global conflict ignited scientific innovation
- Step into the shoes of some of the greatest scientific minds in history—Albert Einstein, Edward Teller, Leslie Groves, Niels Bohr, and Leo Szilárd
- Witness the crucial moments and decisions that led to the dropping of the "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- Discover the Manhattan Project, a top secret mission that assembled the world's brightest minds in a race against the sinister, Nazi Atomic Project
- E = mc²: Unravel the mysteries of Einstein's groundbreaking equation that laid the foundation for atomic science

Ideal for a science graduate.
I have an interest in the birth of the atom bomb and the Cold War. This audio recording is full to the top with facts and figures, ideal for anyone studying. Whilst I found a lot of interesting and some new facts, some of the technical bits was a bit above my interest. However a interesting recording.
