Norman Moss details the fierce rivalries, moral dilemmas, and geopolitical pressures that drove the United States and Soviet Union into a terrifying thermonuclear arms race. With the authority of a seasoned journalist, Moss presents the human stories behind the science, unraveling how ordinary ambition and extraordinary intelligence combined to produce history's most devastating weapon. The narrative raises urgent and enduring questions about the ethics of power, the responsibilities of science, and what it truly means to hold the fate of civilisation in one's hands.
