'If you are an intelligent person, or at the very least think you
are, you have to read Garrett Graff's THE DEVIL REACHED TOWARD THE
SKY. Even if you don't read this lengthy masterpiece, you should
keep it in your library to demonstrate that you are curious and
literate [...] it's everything, and more, about the atom bomb, the
Manhattan Project, and the terrifying destruction of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. This period in history has never been more relevant and
frightening than it is today.'JAMES PATTERSONFrom the New York
Times bestselling author of When the Sea Came Alive and The Only
Plane in the Sky, a sweeping and comprehensive oral history of the
atomic bomb's creation and deployment, marking the 80th anniversary
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.April 12, 1945.Less than three months
into his vice presidency, Harry Truman is catapulted into the Oval
Office following the sudden death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As he
recites the oath, he learns a chilling secret known only to a
select few: the United States is on the verge of deploying a weapon
of unimaginable power.This weapon could end the war but also herald
a new age of global fear and uncertainty.Drawing from over
twenty-five oral history archives across the US, Japan, and Europe,
Graff has masterfully blended the memories and perspectives from
key figures like Harry Truman and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the crews
of the B-29 bombers, Enola Gay and Bock's Car, the rescuers who
bravely faced the destruction, and the haunting stories of those at
ground zero in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including the experiences of
the hibakusha - the 'bomb-affected people'.Enriched by memoirs,
diaries, letters, official documents, and news reports, this is an
immersive and deeply human account of the Manhattan Project through
the end of World War II and the dawning of the Cold War, offering a
vivid, multi-dimensional view of events that reshaped the world
forever.
