Rhoades does a masterful job of describing the impact of the sea change in physics (and the upheaveal in the 'real' world around the cadre of physicists that were at the center of it) on -- everything -- and the near-inevitability of the development of weapons based on "the power of the atom".
It is one of those "sprawling epic" kind of books -- but it's nonfiction, well written, and impeccably put together.
How's that? ;)
