Countdown 1945: The Extraordinary Story of the Atomic Bomb and the 116 Days That Changed the World by Chris Wallace

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

Started reading this because I was interested in the way that Truman pretty much overnight became president and discovered that the military was building an atomic bomb. I probably want a Truman biography for that. This was told from the perspective of the different characters involved in the creation of the bomb but also those who fought in the war. A lot of which I already knew from watching Oppenheimer. Those who enjoy military history will enjoy it but it wasn’t for me.
