Walter Pincus

A very detailed history of the development of the atom bomb, its use in WWII, and further testing in the south Pacific after the war that contaminated the homelands of the Marshall Islanders. For detailed history I would give this book 5 stars, but my interest was only in the effect on the Islanders, so I found it a little too in-depth and dry, so dropped my rating to 4 stars. Still, well-written and very thorough.
