ALPEROVITZ, GAR

Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb: And the Architecture of an American Myth

New York, Knopf. 1995, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0679443312) Hardcover, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book, cloth, dust jacket, xiv, 847 pages,One of the most controversial issues absorbing America today: Was it necessary to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Fifty years after the fateful summer of 1945, we are still debating Harry Truman's decision. Now, in an exhaustive, thoroughly documented study of the events of that time, Gar Alperovitz makes plain why the United States did not need to deploy the bomb, how Truman was advised of alternatives to it by nearly every civilian and military adviser, and how his final decision was later justified by what amounted to a deception - the claim that the action saved half a million to a million American soldiers who might otherwise have died in an invasion. Fine/Fine.

Book, printed paper wraps, iv, 181 pages. illustrated, port. frontis. 41 full page b & w illustrations from photographs, small tears to edges small spots on wraps, "The torrential rains began on November 3, 1927. It had already been a wet October and rivers were swollen and the ground saturated. Nine inches of rain fell in a thirty-six hour period and horrendous flooding began. Though all of New England was affected, Vermont was devastated. The state flooded from Newport to Bennington, with the Winooski River Valleythe hardest hit. Eighty-five people died and 9,000 were left homeless. Many of Vermont's roads and over 1,200 bridges were washed away. The great Flood of 1927 would change Vermont forever as communities turned to the state, and the state turned to the federal government for assistance."( from the Vermont Historical Society web site, with Thanks) More than half the contents describe the catastrophe as it affected the White River valley in Vermont. The balance gives a partial survey of the disaster throughout the remainder of Vermont.The photographs alone make this little volume a valuable account of the disaster. Size: 8 vo. Very Good.
