The Day the World Went Nuclear: Dropping the Atom Bomb and the End of World War II in the Pacific

302 pp. | Holt | June, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-12033-5 $19.99
(4) YA O'Reilly's well-known voice and blustery demeanor come through loud and clear in this breathless narrative account of the events leading up to the dropping of the atomic bomb and the end of WWII. An abundance of (poorly reproduced) photographs, short chapters, and staccato-style sentences make the volume (adapted from the adult book Killing the Rising Sun) an undemanding read. Reading list, timeline. Ind.
