The Manhattan Project: Big Science and the Atom Bomb
Quickly covers a lot of significant points on scientific discovery, nation-states, military/national security interests and organisations/funding. For those less familiar it does a good job of sparking interest in supercollider research. Particularly interesting was the perhaps unintended commentary on men, competition and complex decisions boiled down to the most basic desires for recognition and superiority.
