Weapons For Victory: The Hiroshima Decision
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The highly acclaimed Weapons for Victory originally appeared in 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II. Now, in this paperback edition, Robert James Maddox provides a new introduction about the ongoing controversy related to the decision to bomb Hiroshima.
"[Maddox's] research is exhaustive, his logic is admirable, and his account is utterly convincing. . . . This is a good overview of how the decision was made to enter the atomic age. It is thorough, readable, accurate, and most welcome."--Florida Historical Quarterly
"Maddox has written a concise history of the American decision to drop nuclear bombs in Japan in August 1945. . . . Certainly, this is a book to be reckoned with."--Choice
