Iain MacGregor The Hiroshima Men: Building the Atomic Bomb

The war historian recounts the decade-long journey toward the first atomic attack, charting the race for the bomb during World War II, as the Allies fought the Axis powers, and told through several key characters. He’ll take us from the corridors of power in the White House and the Pentagon to the test sites of New Mexico; from the air war above Germany to the Potsdam Conference of Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, and not forgetting the Japanese perspective. Iain MacGregor is the author of the acclaimed Cold War Berlin: Checkpoint Charlie and the award-winning The Lighthouse of Stalingrad: The Hidden Truth Behind WWII’s Greatest Battle.
