Countdown 1945 : the extraordinary story of the atomic bomb and the 116 days that changed the world

Wallace, Chris (author.). Weiss, Mitch, (author.).

Summary: This is the gripping true story of the turbulent days, weeks, and months to follow, leading up to August 6, 1945, when new President Harry Truman gives the order to unleash the world's first atomic bomb. Chris Wallace takes readers inside the minds of the iconic and elusive figures who join the quest for the bomb, each for different reasons. This is also an unforgettable account of the lives of ordinary American and Japanese civilians in wartime - as well as American soldiers fighting in the Pacific, waiting in fear for the order to launch a possible invasion of Japan.
