They were nine brilliant men who believed in science and who saw before anyone else the awesome workings of an invisible world. They came from many places, some fleeing Nazism in Europe, others quietly slipping out of university teaching jobs, all gathering in secret wartime laboratories to create the world's first atomic bomb. During World War II, few of the atomic scientists questioned the wisdom of their desperate endeavor. But afterward they were forced to deal with the sobering legacy of their creation. Some were haunted by the dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and became anti-nuclear weapons activists; others went on to build even deadlier bombs. In explaining their lives and their struggles, Brian VanDeMark superbly illuminates not only their moral reckoning with their horrific creation but also the ways in which each of us grapples with responsibility and unintended consequences.

Discusses the scientific discovery of the properties of atoms, uranium, radium, and atomic fission, and how political and military leaders used this knowledge to create an atom bomb.

A re-release of a 1946 best-seller features the warnings of top scientists on the dangers of a nuclear world, in a volume of essays in which such figures as Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, and Robert Oppenheimer evaluate the potential consequences of their scientific breakthroughs.
