Booked for the Day Discussion Group

Please join us to discuss, Road to Surrender, by Evan Thomas. If you would like to attend, please contact Jean Demas at demasj@lislelibrary.org.

At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war "at once." Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately 
involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb--and Japan's decision to surrender. The author lays out the 
behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.
