Synopsis

This investigation into atomic research in the Third Reich sets out to show that Nazi Germany became the world's first atomic power in late 1942. The facts of the failed Wehrmacht project are broadly known, but the book offers an account of how the failure was deliberately brought about by sabotage, by the Nobel Prize winner, Werner Heisenberg, who thus possibly saved the world from disaster. The factors restraining Hitler from deploying his fabled "miracle weapons" in Europe as the Reich disintegrated are discussed, together with what the author contends is the true reason for the American atom bomb attacks on Japan in August 1945.
