Description
At the dawn of the twentieth century, mass starvation was about to become a reality. Brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, and saved millions of lives. But the Haber-Bosch process was also used to make gunpowder and explosives that killed millions during the two world wars.-- adapted from back cover.
