Beginning in the 1950s, American and Soviet scientists engaged in a dangerous race to see who could build and detonate the worlds largest bomb. The results exceeded all expectations about how big a bomb could be built. This is an epic story where the United States led the way, but then left the field clear for the Soviet Union to break all records. The story of the race to build the Worlds Biggest Bomb has never been fully told.

Race for an increasingly dangerous bomb
"World's Biggest Bomb" begins with Hiroshima and Nagasaki and ends with the Bikini Atoll tests -- who nowadays would've believed that "the bomb" was once considered so sexy that the bathing suit got its name from the test site? The move from atomic to hydrogen to lithium, the latter ending up being more dangerous than the first two because of a miscalculation of the structure of lithium. Truman didn't mention the bomb at Potsdam because he wanted Stalin out of the loop, unaware that Stalin didn't need the loop due to espionage already going on at Los Alamos; the subsequent Soviet test took the U.S. as much off guard as Pearl Harbor, and led to an atomic arms race that got increasingly dangerous as both sides learned the hard way what exactly they were dealing with.

Hard to believe this happened. that a 57 Megaton Hydrogen Bomb was sucessfilly Detoneted
It shows how mankind could develop and Detonate a Thermo Nuclear Bomb of 57 Megatons (Downsized 100 Megatons) which was Aircraft Deliverable too, it so scary during the height of the Cold War (Cuban Missile Crises), if a Nuclear War ever Broke out, the use of these weapons would wipe out civilisation on this planet.
