"This is the story of the Atomic bomb from it's inception, to testing, to its use in World War II. Through the perspective of those who flew the Enola Gay to Japanese soldiers, to scientists involved with the Manhattan Project, to American and Japanese politicians the book gives a unique perspective into what went on at the time.
