Members Reviews:

good, however brief, summary of the events

Little new ground but an interesting take on President Truman and his advisers leading up to dropping the bomb and why it was never used again.

Brief Overview

I love reading or listening to things like this. History reviews or accounts often have so much excess stuff in them that it is hard to sift through and grasp what a subject is about. This audio does a great job of touching the essentials and helping someone realize why the Atomic Bombs were dropped and initial effect they had.

To the point.

Very much to the point and very informative.

At only 22 minutes, And 70 pence. Still worth the pennies.
