Iain MacGregor – The Hiroshima Men – The Quest to Build the Atomic Bomb and the Fateful Decision to Use it
Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima attack comes a riveting history based on new interviews and research. Built in top secret by the US, the weapon killed tens of thousands. Iain MacGregor’s vivid narrative recounts the decade-long journey toward this moment that changed the world. It charts the race through several key characters: from Robert Oppenheimer, to the mayor of Hiroshima, Senkichi Awaya, to writer John Hersey. Both thrilling and nuanced, Iain MacGregor writes a deeply human account of the bombing’s meaning and aftermath.
