{"product_id":"trinity-a-graphic-history-of-the-first-atomic-bomb","title":"Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb","description":"Trinity, the debut graphic book by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm, depicts the dramatic history of the race to build and the decision to drop the first atomic bomb in World War Two―with a focus on the brilliant, enigmatic scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer.\n\n\"Succeeds as both a graphic primer and a philosophical meditation.\" ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)\n\nThis sweeping historical narrative traces the spark of invention from the laboratories of nineteenth-century Europe to the massive industrial and scientific efforts of the Manhattan Project, and even transports the reader into a nuclear reaction―into the splitting atoms themselves.\n\nThe power of the atom was harnessed in a top-secret government compound in Los Alamos, New Mexico, by a group of brilliant scientists led by the enigmatic wunderkind J. Robert Oppenheimer. Focused from the start on the monumentally difficult task of building an atomic weapon, these men and women soon began to wrestle with the moral implications of actually succeeding. When they detonated the first bomb at a test site code-named Trinity, they recognized that they had irreversibly thrust the world into a new and terrifying age.\n\nWith powerful renderings of WWII's catastrophic events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Fetter-Vorm unflinchingly chronicles the far-reaching political, environmental, and psychological effects of this new invention. Informative and thought-provoking, Trinity is the ideal introduction to one of the most significant events in history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0809093553\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0809093553.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fetter-Vorm, Jonathan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
