When Bob Greene went home to central Ohio to be with his dying father, it set off a chain of events that led hm to know his dad in a way he never had before--thanks to a quiet man who had changed the world. Greene's father, a World War II soldier, often spoke of seeing the private, almost anonymous, man around town. He was Paul Tibbets. In 1945, at the age of twenty-nine, Tibbets assembled a secret team of 1,800 Ameican soldiers to carry out the single most violent act in the history of mankind. He piloted a plane to the Japanese city of Hiroshima, where it dropped the atomic bomb. On the morning after the last meal Greene ever ate with his father, he went to meet Tibbets. An unlikely friendship developed, allowing Greene to discover the ingrained sense of honor and duty of his father, and his father's generation of soldiers, that he had never fully understood before CONDITION: DJ has some light wear.
