`Urgent, compulsively readable and powerfully resonant' Sinclair McKay�You know Oppenheimer, the man who created the atomic bomb.Now meet the men who detonated it, and the extraordinary weight of their decisions.��Road to Surrender by New York Times bestselling author Evan Thomas is a riveting, immersive account of the agonizing decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan - a crucial turning point in World War II and geopolitical history. �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. They are�Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb;�Gen. Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and�Japanese Foreign Minister�Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In�Road to Surrender,�an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history. `This dramatic, you-are-there masterpiece�provides a convincing explanation of one of the great moral questions of 20th century history: was America right to drop the atom bomb on Japan at the end of World War II?�.�This is an indispensable book for those who want to understand the moral issues surrounding the use of great power.'�Walter Isaacson`In this meticulously crafted and vivid account,�Evan Thomas tells the gripping and terrifying story�of the last days of the Second World War in the Pacific. Writing with insight and understanding, he recreates for us those�critical moments when, for better or worse, the decisions, from the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Japanese surrender, were made.'�Margaret MacMillan

Great Wireless iPhone Charging Station
Color: Black
First and foremost, this is not a fast charger. It's a wireless charger, but still charges at a decent speed. If you're in a hurry and want a fast charge, use the provided cable for a direct connection to the provided charging block. If you can accept this, it's a great product that works as it should to charge your phone, watch, and ear buds simultaneously. I have an iPhone 17 Pro with an OtterBox Pro Defender case, and it charges just fine. Folds flat for travel. Seems well made and the price is reasonable. I have no complaints and would recommend this product.

Works good.
Color: White
This works good with the right phone case. The phone needs a thin case otherwise it will not charge with a thick case. It works with my iPhone 14plus. It charges the iwatch good and very convenient for having at bedside.

Versatile, comfortable and a delight to wear
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Army Green
Had never heard of this brand but needed a pair of waterproof boots for a trip to the PNW where we would hike in mountains, rainforest and beaches. I have a pair of Merrell Moab hiking shoes, but wanted something that covered more and were waterproof. These boots are amazing. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I own. I wore them everywhere and found I preferred them over other shoes throughout the trip. They stayed comfortable and dry no matter where we went, rivers, lakes or the ocean. I’ve now worn them on several trips including a March trip to Bryce Canyon where we went from snow on some trails to the heat of the red rocks in others. I love these boots more every time I wear them. I am a huge fan now. At the price they are a nobrainer. I would buy these Nortiv8 boots over and over again.

Good value for a $55 boot.
Size: 12, Color: Army Green
I like these boots because I have a wide foot and even though I bought the 12 and NOT the 12W there is plenty of width. Very comfortable boot. I have put this pair through about 1000 miles mostly on asphalt, ice and snow. Very little actual dirt/ rocky trails. I bought them for the waterproofness and ankle support. Now the soles are getting thin and I can feel small rocks through the soles. Plus the soles are beginning to separate from the uppers and they are no longer waterproof. Not bad for 1000 miles. Still, I feel For a $55 boot they are a good value. I am 6ft and weigh 250.
