Description:
London, Doubleday, 2005. Fine. Hardcover. 0385604386 . Frst edition 8vo 438 pages illustrated with black & white and colour photographs. Fine black cloth hard back with a fine unclipped dust jacket. No inscriptions. Spanning fifty years, Before the Fall-Out tells the full story of how an exhilarating quest to unravel the secrets of the material world produced the knowledge of how to destroy it. And of how a scientific adventure shared openly between nuclear physicists from many different nations transmuted into a secretive wartime race for the ultimate weapon of mass destruction - the atom bomb. Diana Preston reveals how individuals responded to events - from Allied scientists debating the morality of deploying the bomb, to Japanese civilians who became its first victims, and to a German chemist working on the Nazi bomb project while concealing a Jewish pianist in his Berlin apartment. .
