Join bestselling author and historian Iain MacGregor for a fascinating evening exploring the fateful decision to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
At 8:15 a.m. on August 6th, 1945, the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was struck by the world’s first atomic bomb. Built in the US by the top-secret Manhattan Project and delivered by a B-29 Superfortress, a revolutionary long-range bomber, the weapon destroyed large swaths of the city, instantly killing tens of thousands. The world would never be the same again.
The Hiroshima Men offers a unique narrative, recounting the decade-long journey towards this first atomic attack. From the corridors of power in the White House and the Pentagon to the test sites of New Mexico, this is a deeply human account of the bombing’s meaning and aftermath.
