These men and women wrestled daily with both the difficulty of building an atomic weapon and the moral implications of actually succeeding. Robert Oppenheimer and high-level military personnel. The action then shifts to Los Alamos, and Fetter-Vorm showcases the strong personalities of the physicists under the supervision of the Manhattan Project leader J. He takes special care to explain the process of a nuclear chain reaction, transporting the reader into a splitting atom in the vivid way that only a graphic book can. He sets the stage with early research in Europe, which began prior to World War I and accelerated rapidly as World War II approached. In "Trinity", the illustrator Jonathan Fetter-Vorm tells the history of the race to build and the decision to drop the first atomic bomb, and the ethical debates that followed.
