After reading this book (got a reprint from bookdepository), I am yearning for more. Not necessarily on this very topic, but in this vein: slightly technical, but easily followed even when I know very little on the subject, very humorous and personable, hands on. I would especially love to read something like this on the development of the A bomb and first reactors - like the very fact that the first reactor was called the Chicago Pile, was, well, a pile of graphite, uranium, and uranium oxide bricks, 400 tons of it, under a rafters of the Chicago University stadium, in the heart of Chicago, with zero radiation sheilding and was happily runnuing for 3 months. Wikipedia has a lot, but it's mostly dry description of the basic facts and history - no zest.
