Summary:  "War is raging in Europe and the Allies are worried about advances being made by Germans scientists. The British want to get a jump on Hitler and Third Reich physicists. England is too close to the enemy, so they decided to secretly establish a nuclear research laboratory in Montreal. Some of the world's best scientists moved to Montreal with two goals in mind: develop an ultra-powerful bomb and find a new source of energy. Though work begins as cooperation with the Americans, it becomes a race to harness the energy of the atom when Washington launches the Manhattan project. 'Montreal and the bomb' breathes new life into a little-known but exhilarating saga of top-level scientists secretly developing a strategic nuclear laboratory at the Université de Montréal. Their driving idea: master the atom, whatever the result may be."--Back cover. Other authors:  Sabourin, Gilles, 1962. Montréal et la bombe.
