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

informative reflective tense fast-paced

4.25

4.2 stars. A good summary of the 116 days between Truman’s inauguration and the day the U.S. dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima. Its highlights all the important people involved, the key moments of development, and the details of what happened the day the bomb was dropped. I appreciated the Epilogue and Post Script analysis that dives into the morality as well as the triggering of the arms race the development of the Atomic Bomb created.
