review 1: This graphic novel retelling of the Manhattan Project really nails it on 3 fronts - as a brilliantly executed primer on the science of splitting the atom, a historical deconstruction and a philosophical rumination on the consequences of possession of such power. Jonathan Fetter-Vorm brilliantly utilizes the medium to present sizable chunks of perspective and information in a format easily absorbed by anyone with a hour to spare.
review 2: I know the story of the Manhattan Project. I grew up in the waning days of the Cold War in Southern California, surrounded by Nike bases and rocket testing facilities. But never have I seen the story of the creation of the Atomic bomb told with such a well balanced presentation of the science and social history behind the enti... morere thing. I was impressed with the austere beauty of many of the pages. Science came alive on the pages. Oppenheimer's moral dilemma was displayed by remained as a supporting thread instead of taking over the story. This is a great book for anyone who would like to read how the bomb came to be. I highly recommend it. less
