The Bomb. How Nuclear Weapons Changed the World

When nuclear weapons came into existence, the world was irrevocably changed. Today, there are about fourteen thousand nuclear warheads — enough to destroy civilization and make Earth uninhabitable. Science journalist Mark Wolverton explores the history of the development of nuclear... weapons, starting from the very first tests, key episodes when the world stood on the brink of apocalypse, and also discusses how nuclear weapons have influenced global culture. "The Bomb" is a sobering account of the past, present, and future of humanity's most dangerous invention.
