I like that the history in this book was made relatable to the reader because oftentimes the reader feels disengaged and unconnected to what's actually happening; in this case I felt like I was right there with Stephen.

from impact of the bomb, but there's also a danger of radiation, the extreme heat emitted by the bomb and also something called 'black rain' which is falling radioactive debris. 

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, it doesn't look like it could cause nearly as much damage as it actually did. I researched what some effects of the bomb were, and not only can you die

This is a picture of the cloud produced by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The power of the bomb is shown, and one can't even fathom the damage it caused

# data[].attributes.body
the book kept me interested throughout, and over all it was historically accurate.

Here is an account of the actual bomb testing that was held near Los Alamos during the time period.

The Lab has a proud history and heritage of 75 years of science and innovation. See historical photos and original badges, and read about former Lab directors.

Overall, I definitely enjoyed reading this book and wasnn't expecting to. I liked that there was history but still an interesting story behind all of it.

CG-The size of the bombs in comparison to the damage they inflict is unbelievable. It's hard to believe that something like that is possible of so much harm.

This was Fat Man, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki and the description that stephen uses the book is very similar to how the picture looks.

# data[].attributes.body
The novel overall was very interesting. I was not to surprised when Alexei and family were spies in the end because of how Stephen was saved on his field trip.

The source carter used is pretty interesting because i would have expected the atom bombs to have been huge but it makes sense how devastating a bomb can be.

# data[].attributes.body
In this picture an atomic bomb has just went off and the photo is probably about a little over a minute into the bombing. Its effects are catastrophic!

# data[].attributes.body
This book was very interesting on the plot of the creation of the atomic bomb and the impact on peoples lives.

I didnt realize how small the atomic bomb really is

This is the explosive effect of an atomic bomb

It's kind of ugly. It needs like a flower or something on it. :] If that's Little Boy, Fat Boy must be huge.

Albert Einstein & J. Robert Oppenheimer:

Albert Einstein had an interest in chess and was also very mindful of the hold it could have on a chess players' life ( quote). Einstein was a personal friend of the World Chess Champion Emanuel Lasker, though I am not aware of any recorded games between these two great men. There is, however, a recorded game between Albert Einstein and the theoretical physicist Julius Robert Oppenheimer, "the father of the atomic bomb" (he was scientific director of the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, New Mexico, during World War II). Professor Oppenheimer in 1946 became director of the Institute for Advanced Study Princeton, New Jersey (eventually taking over Einstein's old job), where he stayed until a year before his death ( source).

Opening: Ruy Lopez, Morphy Defense. Caro Variation (C70)
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Nf6 6.0-0 Nxe4 7.Re1 d5 8.a4 b4 9.d3 Nc5 10.Nxe5 Ne7 11.Qf3 f6 12.Qh5+ g6 13.Nxg6 hxg6 14.Qxh8 Nxb3 15.cxb3 Qd6 16.Bh6 Kd7 17.Bxf8 Bb7 18.Qg7 Re8 19.Nd2 c5 20.Rad1 a5 21.Nc4 dxc4 22.dxc4 Qxd1 23.Rxd1+ Kc8 24.Bxe7 1-0.

Here is a moving video of the first atomic bomb explosion (in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16th, 1945) and Oppenheimer's famous quote repeated for a television broadcast ( 1965):

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

A sympathetic biography of Oppenheimer, published in AmericanHeritage.com - "I AM BECOME DEATH..." The Agony of J. Robert Oppenheime r, is well worth a read.

I so called Alexei being a spy. And I love the Sewa is always right. But I felt that his father was a huge jerk, which I didn't appreciate.

# data[].attributes.body
i didn't know that they were afraid that the bomb may have ended the world and that they were already dispatching another bomb without proper experimentation 

# data[].attributes.body
I just finished reading, and though I had my doubts, this novel caught my interest and showed the creation of an atomic bomb in an interesting, new light.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was very sad that Stephen was betrayed by Alexei. I am surprised that his family was able to penetrate the camp simply by using a dog handler cover.

I wonder how Einstein knew that Germany was planing on making a bomb just because they seized a country and stopped the sale of uranium.

This is Truman's aerial leaflet (3rd one down). it reassured the Japanese that they would not be harmed upon surrender.Their were over a million leaflets

Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed this book. There was always something new, and it's amazing how the Russian spies were incorporated into the plot.

It's amazing how fast the shock wave of the bomb expands not even a half a second after detonation.

Here is "Little Boy." It's amazing how the size of it doesn't do justice for its impact on mass casualties.

The novel itself held my interest, which I wasn't expecting. I enjoyed Stephen's inquisitive nature, and the overall progression of the novel.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't realize that Albert Einstein was aware of such information about Germany. Very interesting.
