A non-technical narrative of the actual making of the first Atom bomb with an accent on the personal cases of the participants; and the industrial companies that built it. Rich of human stories and anecdotes. Foreign edition of the book include Great Britian, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Bulgaria. Groueff, a Paris-Match reporter, was sponsored by The Reader's Digest to write this prodigious account of the multiple efforts which went into the creation of the first atomic bomb between 1942 and 1945. The book is a history of the men involved, mainly; and Groves, the military commander, is obviously the author's hero. Reading like the account of a hurdle race, the book charges into a discussion of a problem, then 'finds' and describes the man who bested it. Thus are described the building of Oak Ridge, Fermi's atomic pile, the electromagnetic process, the crises over the barrier and the valves for the gaseous diffusion process, the last-minute decisions concerning the implosion process with plutonium. Groueff does convey well a scene of fantastic activity, where different solutions to one problem were worked on simultaneously, where industrial equipment came before scientific results were known, where the 'impossible' was achieved ? in time. The material is fascinating, and the scientific information is well presented. an excellent overall view of a monumental project. Ref LLL 1. Nº de ref. del artículo: 033680
