What is Men who play God : the story of the hydrogen bomb about?
Men Who Play God is a captivating history of the political decisions, global events and scientific experiments that led to the invention of the most powerful bomb in history. A renowned British journalist and broadcaster, Norman Moss’ acclaimed book provides a detailed summary of the inception and production of the bomb itself. A thought-provoking narrative on a highly complex issue, it also examines the problems that arose, such as the potentially lethal effects of nuclear fallout. Moss also brings to life the opposing views between scientists and politicians alike as the idea of a “Super” bomb capable of mass destruction rapidly began to transform into a reality. Governments sought to endorse or denounce thermonuclear weapons programmes in their countries - after crucial events such as President Harry S. Truman’s public declaration of support for the American Atomic Agency Commission and its work on the hydrogen bomb in 1950. This led to issues that ranged from serious ethical questions to political decisions that would resonate across the world. Offering vivid portraits of the eminent men whose decisions and expertise were crucial to the process, Moss pays particular attention
