Uranium : la biographie

The book covers a vast scope from scientific discovery to geopolitical conflict. I'm curious what motivated the author to highlight uranium's impact over other elements.

The technical details can be dense, but I appreciated how they were explained. Did the author succeed in making complex science engaging for general readers?

The chronological jumps kept me intrigued but also a bit disoriented at times. I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
