Bombs are only as old as hatred itself but, since 6 August 1945, 'the' bomb has haunted our dreams and threatened our existence. This is a historical account of the life story of the nuclear bomb, from its development in physics labs and testing in Bikini and Australia to its legacy that hangs over us today.
