This book starts of a bit slow and hard to read - but hey it is about nuclear fusion so I was not expecting a easy read. I was not expecting to read so much about the atomic bombs at the start of this book, but it is logical - it is where the idea of nuclear fusion starts.

This book takes you through the history of the nuclear fusion research in a chronological way. I feel the book is not totally objective everywhere, closer to the end it gets clearer why. But I did not mind that a lot, I've read this to understand the scientific process of nuclear fusion better. I've achieved that goals, and I've learned a lot about the politics and egos involved.

This book shows you science is more than just that single breakthrough. It is about a lot more, and sometimes things go not according to plan. This book shows you that is all part of the process.
