In the Shadow of the Bomb: Physics and Arms Control
Well-researched. Some interesting new revelations about American-Japanese relations (to me at least).
However, the writing style is dry and academic. Synthesis is missing from this book. Mostly this is a write-up of Schaller's research which is from primary (mostly US government documents) and secondary written sources (some biographies, occasionally his own books). He did not interview anyone for this book himself, as far as I can tell from his citations. This read more like a wikipedia article than a McCullough epic, mostly because the actors were two-dimensional. Again this books mostly describes what happened to the Japanese-American relationship post-occupation; unfortunately it leaves out the who and why?
