ATOMIC BOMB RESEARCH LINKS
The links below will help students with their research, development and learning of regarding some of the atomic bomb details. Good essays will make use of the information found at these and other sites. However, be sure to check your sources and information. Try to make sure your information is accurate. If you check 10 sources and 8 sources say the bombing of Hiroshima was on August 6, 1945 and 2 sources say August 5, 1945. Then you can deduce that the bombing was on August 6, 1945. Yet, if you check 1 source and it says August 5, 1945 and you put that in your essay you are NOT going to get a good score. Get the picture. Be sure to check your facts thoroughly for the best accuracy.
1) http://www.doug-long.com/ Good starting point that will take you to other related links.
a) Who is who and what did they do?
b) Who was against dropping the bomb?
c) Voices of A-Bomb survivors
2) http://www.dannen.com/decision/ Good info but not as expansive as the website listed above.

A series of movies telling the stories of some of those caught up in the devastating events of World War Two.
? Dunkirk
? Bombers and the Bombed
? Evacuees
? The Secret Army
? D-Day
The war was fought on many fronts, from dog-fights in the skies over Kent to the barricades of resistance in Warsaw.
Stories of secret missions, terrifying battles, survival and rescue are here, but are only a part of the history of those years.
Bombs also fell on families at home, and the courage of many children was tested by the experience of evacuation across Europe.
