About this event

Join us for an afternoon with Gareth Williams, emeritus professor and acclaimed author, as he discusses his latest book The Impossible Bomb

This gripping historical account uncovers the hidden role of British scientists in the race to develop the atomic bomb. While the Manhattan Project is often seen as a triumph of American science, Williams reveals how a secret British programme—codenamed “Tube Alloys”—laid the essential groundwork.
