pickI have listened to 3 Garrett Graff full-cast audiobooks and I love all 3. This one is about all about the atomic bomb: perspectives from scientific minds through history theorizing the making of this weapon, and the great minds who came together to crest it, to the military officers and world leaders who helped carry out the mission of using it, and those impacted by the explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Another expertly researched deep dive.
pickIt was short but great. I had never heard of this unit. #audible
pickThis excellent book is the story of the atomic bomb told by the people involved in making it and those it impacted. I particularly appreciate the extensive section of voices from Japan of those who were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the bombs were dropped there. Hard to listen to, but vitally important.
pickLitsy! It has been a while!
Whilst life has been selfishly stealing the limelight, with house moves and engagements, my reading sat on the back burner. I needed to wrestle it back and would have usually done so with some non-fiction - my usual escape.
But I picked up this masterpiece instead. A documented history of the founding of the SAS and it blew me away. The courage and audacity these young men displayed in the face of evil is inspiring

pickI am so glad this book landed on my radar. I learned so much. Very emotional read. The amount of determination and courage to research the Home Army women fascinated me. A hero. @OutsmartYourShelf #Research
