Historie

It's August 7th. This day in 1945, the US has bombed the Japanese city of Hiroshima, and two days later would drop a nuclear weapon on Nagasaki.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by author and journalist Garrett Graff to discuss the 80th anniversary of the bombings, how they played into the final months of WWII -- and what perspectives we are losing as the memories of WWII slip away.

Garrett has a new oral history of the making of the atomic bomb called "The Devil Reached Toward The Sky" -- it's available now!
