Description
What Was the Bombing of Hiroshima? explores one of the most pivotal moments in modern history. In August 1945, as World War II drew to a close in Europe, American forces faced off against Japan in a final, desperate bid for victory.
The decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki rested with President Harry S. Truman, who had to weigh the devastating consequences of his choice. This thoughtful account examines the events leading up to the bombings, their terrible impact, and how the threat of nuclear war has shaped global events ever since.
