THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A stunning book, among the most
immediate and thrilling works of history I have ever read' At
8:15am on August 6th 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on the
Japanese city of Hiroshima. In an instant, the temperature at its
core rose to millions of degrees. Sixty-thousand buildings were
obliterated. A third of the city's population died, by heat, by the
blast, and by a terrible new weapon in the history of warfare:
radiation. In this riveting account, Stephen Walker follows the
stories of real people in the extraordinary weeks leading up to the
explosion and in its aftermath. From the atomic engineer who armed
the bomb in mid-air to the Japanese doctors treating thousands of
burnt bodies on the ground. From the flight crews and scientists to
world leaders and civilian victims. With intimate testimony and
remarkable stories, this is the startling narrative behind the dawn
of the atomic age.
