Description
This Czech-language nonfiction book reconstructs the first atomic bombing through the story of the Enola Gay crew, whose aircraft carried a deadly payload intended for Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. It offers an engaging account of one of the most important events of the Second World War. The authors carefully distinguish their own interpretations from the facts as they retrospectively follow the steps that led the world into the atomic age. They gather evidence and interview soldiers, scientists and the pilots of the fateful aircraft. The most capable pilots and bomber crews were told that they had been chosen for a special mission, without being allowed to ask what the assignment involved. For the first time in history, atomic energy was used against humanity.
