Description
The atomic bomb came to be when a German scientist set uranium next to radioactive material. Explore the origin of atomic weapons, the scientific race that ensued, and what became of it all. The graphics are not hyper-realistic in this book, but not cartoonish either. The color palette is dark, as one would expect on the topic. The spies make it all very exciting! Graphic novels are a good hook for a reluctant reader. This story combines science and history in an interesting way!
Publisher's Description of Bomb (Graphic Novel Edition)
In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned three continents.
In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb.
