The creation of the atomic bomb
39.99 €
For the first time in Russian: a full-scale picture of the social and political events of the late XIX - XX century, presented through the prism of the creation of the atomic bomb. The main work of the prominent American historian Richard Rhodes, for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, comparable in scope and significance to "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shearer. From predicting the emergence of nuclear power in the novels of H.G. Wells and the first research into the science of nuclear fission to the Manhattan Project, the testing of the Trinity nuclear bomb at the U.S. Alamogordo test site, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Cold War arms race, Rhodes takes us step by step along the way, revealing the details of man's most remarkable invention, one that forever changed the face of the world and the course of human history, and without neglecting the ethics of a rapidly advancing technology.
