Publisher Synopsis
""Trinity" illuminates a turning-point in human history, and does so with admirable pace, grace, and skill." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing "Succeeds as both a graphic primer and a philosophical meditation." --"Kirkus" (starred review) "Fetter-Vorm's work . . . is altogether exemplary. And the writing's as good as the art, making this a strong primer on the A-bomb's development." --"Booklist ""The story behind the weapon that ended World War II and changed the nature of international conflicts forever, "Trinity "covers both the scientific, technical side of building the bomb and the very human side of realizing what its existence would mean for mankind."--Mashable "A succinct, compelling, and dramatically illustrated history of the making of the atomic bomb, "Trinity "is an excellent primer for students and younger readers." --Cynthia C. Kelly, founder and president of the Atomic Heritage Foundation and editor of "The Manhattan Project ""The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the first atomic bomb lies deep in our collective imagination.
