Publisher's Synopsis
History records that it was the United States of America that first successfully developed and then used the atomic bomb in combat. Is it possible that history is wrong? Formerly top secret original intelligence documents from WWII make a shocking claim: that it was Nazi Germany, and NOT the United States, that won the race for the new superweapon. Highly specific information about the alleged German nuclear devices turned up in a declassified Japanese radio signal intercepted and decoded by US intelligence, and there were also eyewitness reports describing what appears to have been some kind of super bomb test detonations nearly a year before Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In "The Japanese Bomb: By Way of Germany?," author William J.Pellas takes the declassified documents at face value and dives deeply into the history of nuclear weapons. In addition to a detailed survey of the corroborating evidence, he considers the possibility that Japan may have been the beneficiary of cutting edge German research and development in its own last minute atomic bomb project.
