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

challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

The subtitle, “The Extrordinary Story of the Atomic Bomb and the 116 Days that Changed the World,” fit this book to a T. The countdown timeline in different locations is very interesting, informative and harrowing. Hard decisions in hard times that left me with chills while reading the last few hours and minutes. 

This book was recommended to me after watching the Oppenheimer movie. Now I feel like I need to watch the movie again.
