Title: Countdown 1945: The Extraordinary Story of the 116 Days
that Changed the World
Author: Chris Wallace
*************************************************************
Book Descriptions: From Chris Wallace, the veteran journalist
and anchor of Fox News Sunday, comes an electrifying
behind-the-scenes account of the secret meetings and events
across the globe during the 116 days leading up to the world’s
first use of the atomic bomb in wartime—the American attack on
Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.April 12, 1945: After years of
bloody conflict in Europe and the Pacific, America is stunned by
news of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death. Countdown 1945
tells the gripping true story of the turbulent days, weeks, and
months to follow, leading up to August 6, 1945, when new
President Harry Truman gives the order to unleash the world’s
first atomic bomb. Featuring some of history’s most remarkable
leaders, page-turning action, and vivid details, Countdown 1945
is a thrilling narrative of the covert meetings and pivotal
developments that took place in the United States and around the
world during the volatile spring and summer of 1945.Countdown
1945 takes readers inside the minds of the iconic and elusive
figures who join the quest for the bomb, each for different
reasons: the legendary Albert Einstein, who eventually calls his
vocal support for the atomic bomb “the one great mistake in my
life”; lead researcher Robert “Oppie” Oppenheimer and the Soviet
spies who secretly infiltrate his team; the fiercely competitive
pilots of the plane selected to drop the bomb; and many more.
Perhaps most of all, Countdown 1945 is the story of an untested
new president confronting a decision that he knows will change
the world forever. Truman’s journey during these 116 days is a
story of high drama: from the shock of learning of the bomb’s
existence, to the conflicting advice he receives from generals
like Eisenhower and George Marshall, to wrestling with the
devastating carnage that will result if he gives the order to
use America’s first weapon of mass destruction.But Countdown
1945 is more than a book about the atomic bomb. It’s also an
unforgettable account of the lives of ordinary American and
Japanese civilians in wartime—from “Calutron Girls” like Ruth
Sisson in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to ten-year-old Hiroshima
resident Hideko Tamura, who survives the blast at ground zero
but loses her mother, and later immigrates to the United States,
where she lives to this day—as well as American soldiers
fighting in the Pacific, waiting in fear for the order to launch
a possible invasion of Japan. Told with vigor, intelligence, and
humanity, Countdown 1945 is the definitive account of one of the
most consequential moments in history.
