This second edition contains important revisions and additions, including a new chapter on the German atomic bomb program and new sections on British and Canadian contributions to the Manhattan project and on feed materials. Several other sections have been expanded; reader feedback has been helpful in introducing minor corrections and improved explanations; and, last but not least, the second edition includes a detailed index.

The author holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Waterloo (Canada) and has published over 30 technical and semi-popular-level papers on the Manhattan Project and related nuclear history in publications such as American Journal of Physics, The Physics Teacher, European Journal of Physics, Natural Science, American Scientist, Physics & Society and Physics in Perspective. In 2009 he was made a Fellow of the American Physical Society in recognition of his contributions " ... to the history of both the physics and the development of nuclear weapons in the Manhattan Project."
This is the only introductory-level history of the Project prepared by a writer who is a physicist and who has broad knowledge of the relevant scientific details
Ideal for readers who have no specialized physics background but who want to learn more about how atomic bombs came to be
Provides a deeper understanding of some of the technical issues involved in developing atomic bombs for those readers who possess high-school physics knowledge
An ideal text for a college-level "general education" history or science class
Based on years of research by the author into the physics of nuclear weapons, augmented by familiarity with relevant official archival documentation
Second edition significantly extended and enhanced
