Alamos. . a flawless and fascinating read, the definitive book on
the subject."--Moab Times-Independent
"May be the definitive account of the days and hours leading up to
the first nuclear explosion in history and the legacy it left. He
vividly reconstructs the story: the industrious atmosphere of the
scientists and technicians; the grave considerations of those
making key decisions; the sense of wonder, and twinges of
conscience, at what had been achieved."--Los Angeles Times
"This tightly focused, lucidly written and thoroughly researched
book. . . describes the events, personalities and scientific
processes that led to the detonation of the first atomic bomb in an
isolated stretch of New Mexican desert. . . . Mr. Szasz provides
fascinating details. . . . The Day the Sun Rose Twice is concise
and cogent, a valuable introduction to how our nuclear dilemma
began."--New York Times Book Review
