I received this terrific book for Christmas. My wife’s adoptive father (her grandfather) worked on the bomb at Oakridge, TN during the war, so she loved the book too. This well written book takes you from the day Truman became president to the aftermath of dropping the bomb on Japan. It is well-written and well-researched; I learned a great deal I didn’t know. I highly recommend it.
