The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics – A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Stars
The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics is A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy. This is more than just a history lesson on the development of Nuclear weapons- it gives us an insight into the science behind the development, the types of nuclear weapons, the various delivery systems, the dangers, some of the near misses that have only just avoided complete annihilation, politics, and more.
I found this to be quite informative and insightful. We all know the destruction that nuclear weapons can cause- but this really opened my eyes to something I probably should have thought more about, before reading this book. It certainly made think- especially in this day and age. Quite sobering really.
Well worth the read…
Thank you, Paul McCarthy!
