Hiroshima (BBC History of World War II) [DVD]

Description It was the defining moment of the 20th Century - the scientific, technological, military, and political gamble of the first atomic attack.

This drama-documentary attempts to do what no other film has done before - to show what it is like to live through a nuclear explosion.

Set in the three weeks from the test explosion in New Mexico to the dropping of the bomb, the action takes viewers into the room where the crucial political decisions are made; on board the Enola Gay; inside the bomb as it explodes; and on the streets of Hiroshima.
