Why did the inventor of atomic bomb build an atomic bomb and why?

Leo Szilard, the inventor of the atomic bomb (patent GB630726), did not build it himself. He wrote a letter that he had Albert Einstein sign and send to president FDR warning of the potential of atomic bombs and that the Nazis were probably working on them already. If the Nazis got atomic bombs first the Allied cause was lost. FDR authorized funds for a study, the study recommended a full program be begun under direction of the Army. This program became the Manhattan Project, which built the bomb. Leo Szilard was one of hundreds of scientists employed by the Manhattan Project during WW2.
