History Wars The Enola Gay and Other Battles for the American Past

Yet [this book's gripping retelling of this controversy over a controversy leaves the impression that the experts will probably have the last word--mainly because they have so many good ones."Linethal, Edward T. is the author of 'History Wars The Enola Gay and Other Battles for the American Past', published 1996 under ISBN 9780805043877 and ISBN 080504387X.
