| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the first on August 6, 1945, and the second on August 9, 1945. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date. The book studies the two atom bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man, used in these bombings.
