Books like Trinity by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm
TRINITY- the debut graphic book by the gifted illustrator Jonathan Fetter-Vorm - depicts in vivid detail the dramatic history of the race to build and the decision to drop the first atomic bomb. In this sweeping narrative, Fetter-Vorm traces the spark of invention from the laboratories of nineteenth-century Europe to the massive efforts of the Manhattan Project, transporting the reader into the science of a nuclear reaction and to the top-secret test site where the first atomic bomb was detonated. His focus is the brilliant scientists-led by the enigmatic J. Robert Oppenheimer - who built the bomb and wrestled with the knowledge that they had irreversibly thrust the world into a new and terrifying age. With powerful renderings of the obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagosaki, Fetter-Vorm unflinchingly chronicles the bomb's far-reaching effects. As informative as it is thought-provoking, Trinity is an ideal introduction to one of the most significant and harrowing moments in human history.
