À propos de cet audio

New York Times best-selling author Gregory Benford creates an alternate history about the creation of the atomic bomb that explores what could have happened if the bomb was ready to be used by June 6, 1944.

Karl Cohen, a chemist and mathematician who is part of the Manhattan Project team, has discovered an alternate solution for creating the uranium isotope needed to cause a chain reaction: U-235.

After convincing General Groves of his new method, Cohen and his team of scientists work at Oak Ridge, preparing to have a nuclear bomb ready to drop by the summer of 1944 in an effort to stop the war on the western front. What ensues is an altered account of World War II in this taut thriller.

Combining fascinating science with intimate and true accounts of several members of the Manhattan Project, The Berlin Project is an astounding novel that reimagines history and what could have happened if the atom bomb was ready in time to stop Hitler from killing millions of people.

an alt history of physics not history

I personally found this book a bit of a slog to get through. the science presented was interesting for the first 5 hours... and then the science keeps rolling, and rolling. this is more an alternative history of the Manhattan program than an alt history of WW2.

I find the book itself largely unbelievable, mostly because the author spends well over 2 thirds of the book on making the bomb, and the post war was relegated to the last couple hours. the author clearly prefers the company of physicists and chemists over the company of political Scientists and historians. for instance, Churchill was a very notorious warmonger, and would have pushed to fight his real enemy, the USSR, as he did in real life. there were also some minor flaws in terminology referring to the Chinese at the end of the book.

ultimately interesting for a short while but the author has no care for political science and it shows.
