520    Atomic Bomb Island tells the story of an elite, top-secret
       team of sailors, airmen, scientists, technicians, and 
       engineers who came to Tinian in the Marianas in the middle
       of 1945 to prepare the island for delivery of the atomic 
       bombs then being developed in New Mexico, to finalize the 
       designs of the bombs themselves, and to launch the 
       missions that would unleash hell on Japan.  Almost exactly
       a year before the atomic bombs were dropped, strategically
       important Tinian was captured by Marines-because it was 
       only 1,500 miles from Japan and its terrain afforded ideal
       runways from which the new B-29 bombers could pound Japan.
       In the months that followed, the US turned virtually all 
       of Tinian into a giant airbase, with streets named after 
       those of Manhattan Island-a Marianas city where the bombs 
       could be assembled, the heavily laden B-29s could be 
       launched, and the Manhattan Project scientists could do 
       their last work.  Mariana Islands historian Don Farrell 
       has done this story incredible justice for the seventy-
       fifth anniversary. The book is a thoroughly researched 
       mosaic of the final phase of the Manhattan Project, from 
       the Battle of Tinian and the USS Indianapolis to Hiroshima
       and Nagasaki.  "A new and vivid account…packed with 
       details and important insights…The narrative makes many 
       individual participants come to life…[including] clashes 
       among them that had material consequences for the course 
       of history."  "Well-researched, well-written…Farrell 
       successfully combines comprehensive research with a 
       compelling, accurate, and readable narrative that should 
       reward any reader, from amateur military history buffs to 
       the experts."
