“Secret Revealed after 18 Years. The Fight over the A-Bomb”

Seller ID: 3006AR

Look Magazine, August 13, 1963 (Volume 27, No. 16), pp. 19- 23. “Hidden in top secret files since WWII, here is the dramatic story [by Knebel and Bailey, “Seven Days in May”] of the attempt by many nuclear scientists to convince President Truman that the A-Bomb should not be used to destroy Japanese cities without warning. This is the record—uncolored by hindsight— of what men said and did during a great moral debate.” “Why scientists wanted to warn Japan, why the President never saw their protest, why Gen. Marshall opposed a surprise attack, [and] why we shrugged off a forecast of missile-dropped super bombs.” Also in this issue “Louisville, KY. The City that Integrated without Strife’ and “The Busy Life of the Ambassador’s Wife”. A page of two with small moisture mark to the top right corner, a nick in the top edge of the cover. Otherwise clean, bright, and sound. [Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki]
