How performed America choose the goals for the atomic bomb? What made Hiroshima preferable over Kyoto or Tokyo? Critical to the mission to kill Hiroshima and Nagasaki were some meetings set up in mid-1945 and composed of America's most powerful military, politics and scientific chiefs. The committeemen would make a decision where and how the first nuclear weaponry would be used in anger. Within this absorbing and provocative narrative, historian Paul Ham shines a torch on the arguments to reveal the thinking behind the atomic devastation of two metropolitan areas - and how the Target Committee justified it at the time. Paul Ham has spent days gone by 16 years writing 20th-century armed forces, politics and diplomatic history. He has written five critically acclaimed literature: 1914: THE ENTIRE YEAR The World Ended, Sandakan, Hiroshima Nagasaki, Kokoda and Vietnam: The Australian Warfare. Two have encouraged ABC documentaries, which he cowrote and/or narrated. Ham is a past international correspondent for The London Weekend Times. He has a master's degree in economic history from the London School of Economics and lives in Sydney and Paris.
