Garry Wills: Bomb Power

According to Barnes & Noble, "In Bomb Power, Garry Wills reveals how the atomic bomb transformed our nation down to its deepest constitutional roots-by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state-in ways still felt today. A masterful reckoning from one of America's preeminent historians, Bomb Power draws a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of George W. Bush."

I can't comment on the quality of the book firsthand because I haven't read it.  That said, I heard Wills interviewed on NPR and found it very interesting.  If you have some time, it is worth a listen.  Click on this link -  Garry Wills: Bomb Power .
