Taking a "picture album" approach (accompanied by text) to the history of the atom bomb, this book covers the discovery of the atom, the making of the bomb, the development of atomic energy, bomb testing, the bombing itself and the aftermath. It includes information about the numbers of seemingly unrelated people, both famous and ordinary, who became involved in the development, manufacturing and dropping of the bomb. This work also looks at issues subsequent to the bombing - such as the reaction to the bombing itself, as well as to the development of atomic energy. It poses questions about the moral choices that accompany such a technological breakthrough: how did such an event happen? What are the responsibilities of a country with nuclear capability?
