The Day an Island Vanished: The Untold Story of the Mike Hydrogen Bomb
In 1952, President Eisenhower received a report stating, "The island of Elugelab is missing!" The report referred to the disappearance of the island due to the detonation of the Mike hydrogen bomb, the first of its kind, with a colossal yield of 10.4 megatons. This marked the shift from fission to fusion in the nation's nuclear arsenal. The decision to develop such a weapon followed a heated debate in response to the Soviet Union's nuclear test in 1949. The Mike bomb's design involved cooling hydrogen to near absolute zero and using an atomic bomb trigger to fuse hydrogen nuclei into helium. This event signaled the birth of the second generation of nuclear weapons, with the King shot following shortly after.
