In Part 1, it mainly talks about how the atomic bomb theory was made and how it spread to other countries during the war by spies.  After it spread, it started a vigorous race between the countries to see who will make the atomic bomb first and unleash its destruction against the world.
In Part 2, it starts talking about the process of how each country finds its own way to create or steal the atomic bomb. It also talks about how the other countries try to delay the other in the steps to make the atomic bomb.

-"Suddenly worried about losing his position at Los Alamos, he decided to tell Colonel Pash about the time, six months earlier, that his friend Haakon Chevalier had approached him about sharing information with the Soviets...Again, Groves defended the man he'd chosen."(pg. 105) Why was Pash so determined about exposing Oppenheimer of sharing info of the atomic bomb to the Soviets, and why did Groves always defend Oppenheimer even though army counter-intelligence accused him of betrayal?

" 'Before you make a single move in connection with this, you are to think, think twice, think three times, You cannot make any mistakes.' "(pg. 107)
Why did the Russian say to Harry Gold that he could not make any mistakes, and what could he not make any mistakes?

-Russian spying on Americans project of atomic bombing
-Germans were exploiting for their own uses
-in the middle americans trying to develop the atomic bomb
-In the end, talks about what happens when bomb is dropped and results.  How everyone around the world reacted to the atomic bomb.
-every section is different from others, diverse central idea
-every side of the war fear escalates because they don't know how far the other side has gotten for creating the bomb, they get scared and increases

-Not enough timelines so first question cannot be answered.
-Knut Haukelid tripped and shot his foot in a training session
-relationships More intense because each bomb could destroy a whole city, places without bombs were fearful for a long time afterwards
-atomic bombs were more destructive by splitting the nucleus of an atom while a bomb was just gunpowder and explosives
-everyone would still die because they would shoot each other, but not more destructive as the atomic bomb

Central Idea
-Every country was fearful that another country would destroy their place, so they used spies to get more info on the others and how far they were in creating the atomic bomb.

-The whole book is basically one huge story about the atomic bomb , told by Harry Gold in the Epilogue, (pg. 1-3).  The story is mainly about because of the discovery of the atomic bomb, it caused the tension between countries during the war and changed our history of the weapons of war forever into the future.
-Our group is right of how the scientists still had more feelings for the outcome of the atom bomb for other countries and not like the government that were determined but harsh on the atom bomb.
-The atomic bomb was really destructive, so other countries made people be spies so no one could trust anyone
-People had to live in everyday fear of their

-Looks like it's going to be intense and interesting about the nuclear bomb
-The plane on the cover looks like it will drop a bomb, reminds me of fighter jet of wars

- Russians were incredibly desperate to build an atom bomb, as shown by, "Yes, Stalin admitted, thousands of Soviet towns and factories lay in ruins.  More than 20 million people had been killed in the war with Germany. But that wouldn't stop the Soviet Union from building an atom bomb"(Sheinkin 202)
Possible Research:
Why were the Russians so desperate to build an atomic bomb when the United States was an ally?

-Allied scientists felt a feeling of terror and guilt after they dropped the atom bomb, as shown by , "He was terrified by the thought of what he had helped create" (Sheinkin 212)
Possible Research:
If the atomic bomb scientists felt so guilty why did they leave previous positions to take part in the project?
