On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. About 90,000 people died instantly, with another 50,000 succumbing in the following weeks. On August 9, the second bomb fell on Nagasaki, killing an additional 80,000 people.

The background of the atomic bomb - compellingly told. In 450 pages, this graphic novel narrates the story behind the scenes, revealing the motives of high-ranking politicians like Roosevelt and Truman, the roles of famous scientists like Einstein and Oppenheimer, as well as lesser-known figures such as physicist Leó Szilard, who initially did everything to develop the bomb and ultimately desperately tried to prevent its horrific use in Japan.

Now available for the first time as a paperback edition. In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this moving and informative classic is being released as a paperback.
