Richard Rhodes is the author of numerous books and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He received the Pulitzer prize for THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB and the History of Science Society's Watson Davis and Helen Miles Davis Prize for DARK SUN.
He graduated from Yale University and has received numerous fellowships for research and writing, including grants from the Ford Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation Program in International Peace and Security, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
He has been a visiting scholar at Harvard and MIT and a host and correspondent for documentaries on public television's Frontline and American Experience series. He is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University.
Here for the first time, in rich, human, political, and scientific detail, is the complete story of how the bomb was developed, from the turn-of-the-century discovery of the vast energy locked inside the atom to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan. Few great discoveries have evolved so swiftly -- or have been so misunderstood. From the theoretical discussions of nuclear energy to the bright glare of Trinity there was a span of hardly more than twenty-five years. What began as merely an interesting speculative problem in physics grew into the Manhattan Project, and then into the Bomb with frightening rapidity, while scientists known only to their peers -- Szilard, Teller, Oppenheimer, Bohr, Meitner, Fermi, Lawrence, and yon Neumann -- stepped from their ivory towers into the limelight. Richard Rhodes takes us on that journey step by step, minute by minute, and gives us the definitive story of man's most awesome discovery and invention. The Making of the Atomic Bomb has been compared in its sweep and importance to William L. Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It is at once a narrative tour de force and a document as powerful as its subject.

评分不但很好地簡述瞭原子彈的原理與製造,而且還很詳實地提供瞭各種環環相扣的背景知識(盧瑟福金箔實驗科學背景,B-29戰略轟炸這樣的曆史背景)。隻可惜自己物理不好或者英文理解依舊薄弱,很多地方也隻能看個大概,無法把作者的描述在腦子裏想象齣反應的過程和裝置的構造。
