520    From the Big Bang to Hiroshima, the incredible story of 
       the most disastrous weapon ever inventedOn August 6, 1945,
       at 8:15 in the morning, an explosive charge of more than 
       15 kilotons fell on the city of Hiroshima. Tens of 
       thousands of people were pulverized, and everything within
       four square miles was instantly destroyed. A deluge of 
       flames and ash had just caused Japan's greatest trauma and
       changed the course of modern warfare and life on Earth 
       forever. The world was horrified by the existence of the 
       bomb-the first weapon of mass destruction. But how could 
       such an appalling tool be invented? To answer this 
       question, Alcante, Laurent-Frdric Bolle, and Denis Rodier 
       return to the origins of its main component, uranium, and 
       shed light on the scientific discoveries around this 
       element and its uses both civilian and military. Sifting 
       through the history, from Katanga to Japan, through 
       Germany, Norway, the USSR, and New Mexico,The Bomb is a 
       succession of incredible but true stories. Alcante, Bolle,
       and Rodier have created an exhaustive and definitive work 
       of nonfiction that details the stories of the unsung 
       players as well as the remarkable men and women who are at
       the crux of its history and the events that followed.
