Rhodes' followup to The Making of the Atomic Bomb (for which he won a Pulitzer), while not as tight a narrative as its predecessor, was more interesting to me because I was less familiar with the story. In particular, the Soviet espionage effort during WWII was fascinating.
Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb is one of the 44 books written about on kottke.org. The latest book entry is Proust Was a Neuroscientist.
