Description:
At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet?
So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America’s decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan’s decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito’s Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender.
Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson’s recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender.
To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemp

Good for my collection.
Format: Hardcover
This was another quick and entertaining read. This instalment wasn't as enjoyable as some of the other books but it was still good. I'm glad to have it in my collection.

A fun and entertaining escape room mystery
Format: Hardcover
I had a lot of fun following the team as they get to know each other and solve the complicated mysteries of the escape room. As the story progresses we find out the real reasons why they all wanted to compete on the TV show, and as they get to know each other better they are able to really become a unit in solving not only the escape room, but work together to find out what really happened to Alicia last season.
The mystery was good, I definitely didn't figure out what was going to happen or who was ultimately behind everything coming.
This is a fun, fast, and very entertaining read. And I think with the escape room aspect it would make a really a great movie or TV show.

Amazing book
Format: Hardcover
Amazing book. The plot twist at the end totally surprised me. The characters are so well written and I had so much fun going on a journey with them. The characters seemed to jump out of the book and the feelings and actions seemed very much like teenage actions. As an escape room lover I loved at the puzzles the teens had to solve along the way. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Great YA Thriller
Format: Audiobook
I thought this book was well written and fast paced. Everything you want in a good thriller. It was written exactly like a dramatic reality show and it kept you guessing until the end. It was a quick fun read if you are in the mood for a reality show that has the feeling of clue and and escape room all in one.
