Countdown to 1945: the Atomic Bomb and the 116 Days That Changed History
by (u. S.) Chris Wallace Mickey Weiss
About This Novel
In 1945, the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing 110,000 people. Three days later, another atomic bomb exploded in Nagasaki, killing 40,000 people. Japan declared unconditional surrender, officially ending World War II. What exactly happened 116 days before the atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima? Is this the correct military decision? Or a terrible decision that violates humanity? This book begins when Truman takes over the presidency, and uses a countdown to reveal the behind-the-scenes story before the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima: Was it a release? Or wait for Japan to surrender? Will the launch damage the external image of the United States, or will it use it to demonstrate its weapons capabilities against the Soviet Union in the future? Co-authored by well-known journalists Chris Wallace and Mickey Weiss, it truly restores the decision-making process of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing, and goes deep into the inner lives of many elusive and iconic figures involved in the atomic bomb program!
