The Beginning or the End

How Hollywood―and America―Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Greg Mitchell

Discover the hidden truth behind the creation of the notorious atomic bomb in The Beginning or the End. This shocking exposé covers the Hollywood adaptation of the Manhattan Project, orchestrated by powerful studio chiefs with profound intentions to deliver a cautionary tale about the dangers of atomic weaponry. However, their plans were tampered with by the White House and Pentagon, resulting in a film drained of its original impact. Greg Mitchell delves into secret letters and scripts to uncover the full extent of the propaganda, politics, and vanity that drastically altered this pivotal moment in American history.

It is a deceptively breezy book that reveals its depths and its profound questions only slowly in the reader's mind, and one of these is how easily the powerful can sell the country a narrative.      source
