by Steve Sheinkin
272 pages

For history readers, but not for the faint of heart.  A fascinating and engrossing account of the historical details of the conception, creation and implementation of the atomic bomb.  With photo footage of details and key players, and the added emphasis of historical validity, this book will capture and hold readers throughout its fast-paced account.  The subject makes for a "Young Adult" or "Teen" designation, but it will appeal to a younger audience- ensure some debriefing after reading.
