Bomb: The Race to Build - and Steal - the World's Most Dangerous Weapon, Steve Sheinkin. This fabulous Newbery Honor award nonfiction account of the building of the atomic bomb will keep you mesmerized and intrigued. I strongly encourage anyone to read this book who has any interest in how the making of the bomb came to be. Physicist, Robert Oppenheimer (think Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory) was the key man behind the Manhattan Project, while Charles Fuchs and Harry Gold were American spies meeting up on street corners and giving information to the Soviets. Trinity was the name given to the test done in a remote desert region in New Mexico, proving to be successful, thus . . . Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Real photographs help put faces to the many parties involved and short chapters allow the reader to read a bit at a time, set it done and come back to it.
