Goodreads asked Neal Bascomb:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Neal Bascomb Richard Rhodes, THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB. Typically, I'll be reading some massive tome and come across a small story within (spies on skis on a mission to hit an impenetrable castle--WINTER FORTRESS) that drives me to want to know more. What seems a small story becomes a large stage once you get to know the individuals who lived and experienced it.
