Bomb - September 2015

How has reading this book changed your opinion of a certain person or topic related to the creation (and theft) of the atomic bomb?

Do you think this book would be more effective in novel/paperback format? With more pictures/images?

Do you feel it was important for Sheinkin to include stories from the Japanese survivors? What was the effect of including them?

What did you find surprising about the facts presented in “Bomb”?

How was dramatic tension created and sustained even though most readers would know how the story ends? What role do cliffhangers and mood shifts have in “Bomb”?


What would you have done in Harry Gold’s place when he is asked to steal documents from his factory?  What about when he is pressured via blackmail?
