This gripping book brings back to life the events surrounding the
internment of ten German Nuclear Scientists immediately after World War
II. It is also an "eye-witness" account of the dawning of the nuclear
age, with the dialogue and narrative spanning the period before, during
and after atomic bombs were dropped on Japan at the end of the war. This
pivotal historical episode is conveyed, along with the emotions as well
as the facts, through drama, historical narrative, and photographs of
the captive German nuclear scientists - who included Werner Heisenberg,
Otto Hahn, and Max von Laue. The unique story that unfolds in the play
is based on secretly recorded transcripts of the scientists' actual
conversations at Farm Hall, together with related documents and
photographs.
