Books like Day of Trinity by Lansing Lamont

An exhaustive account of the discovery, design, and deployment of the atomic bomb, tracing its rapid development from early nuclear science to the Manhattan Project and the first bombings of Japan.

A comprehensive account of the United States' development of the atomic bomb during World War II, detailing the Manhattan Project's scientific, logistical, and strategic milestones.

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.
