Fallout
Jim Ottaviani

G.T. Labs, 2001

Fallout is great!
Although Fallout is in a comic book format it is serious history. The portraits are accurate. The events leading up to the bomb are covered in depth. The account of the government's digraceful treatment of Oppenheimer is chilling, reminding us of how the people at the ...
