The book’s simply called “Atomic Bombs”.

 

That really does look like an interesting book, I just ordered it from Amazon. Thanks for the tip, I'd never heard of it before.

Thanks SR!  I hadn’t heard of this book, but I am a physics junky from way back and like to know stuff.  I like any field of science where a question is asked and there is exactly one right answer, expressed as a number.  Those fields of science feel so fair and equal to me, the only places in our creaky old species where equality and justice always prevail, where everyone has a perfectly equal shot at getting the right answer.
