History Comes Alive

I love history but I do not always like reading history books.  However, I happened to come across this one book and I have found my new favorite history author.   Bomb by Steve Sheinkin is chalked full of facts but reads like a novel.  It recounts the events and people involved in creating the atomic bomb, the espionage between countries and the race to be the first with such a destructive weapon.  The atomic bomb was the fulcrum that would end World War II, create super power nations, and constantly be a worry for all future people.

I really enjoyed read Sheinkin's book, so much so that I am on to The Notorious Benedict Arnold.  If you are a history buff or a reluctant reader Bomb is certainly one to put on your list to read.
