In 1943, something unusual is certainly going on in the New Mexican desert. By evening, the starkly beautiful canyons of Los Alamos fill with the sound of exploding graphite – and by time, the crackle of scientific brainpower. Fifty years after Hiroshima, Atomic Bombers requires us into those secretive canyons to meet the cadre of brilliant scientists who worked well there. With wisecracking physicist Dr. Richard Feynman as our guidebook, the race to the atom bomb comes alive as a very human endeavor, filled up with humor, playfulness and dread.
