“The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes is a tremendous book. The period from the early 1920s to the mid 40s was perhaps the most incredible period in human scientific endeavor starting with the Bohr model of the atom and continuing to the use of nuclear weapons.
Another good book is “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin .

I found the free audio book at archive.org. Yes, it is a fantastic book about the history of The Bomb. I highly recommend it.
