The Books They Carried 2.0


I have added the Pacific Theater to the book list that will accompany us to Savannah. Back When We Were Orphans practically jumped off the shelf as did The Rape of Nanking. What a terrible loss for the narrative nonfiction world when Iris Chang committed suicide. The Last Samurai goes. And Hiroshima of course. Add to that several shelves on opening up the East and a handful of books on the development of the atomic bomb. All suddenly necessary. Plus, Copenhagen - the absolutely brilliant play about atom splitting research.
