2/ I read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" https://www.amazon.com/Making-Atomic-Bomb-Richard-Rhodes/dp/1451677618 … for the first time when I was 12, and have re-read it twice, I think, since then. I've always been interested in nuclear weapon engineering, and have read other books and histories since then.
