More than 70 years after Oppenheimer created the atomic bomb, we are once again faced with the possibility of nuclear war.

In Road to Surrender, meet the men tasked with the decision to detonate the first atomic bombs and Japan's decision to surrender.

These are the stories of Henry Stimson, General Karl Tui Spatz and Shigunori Togo.

Road to Surrender by New York Times best-selling author Evan Thomas, out now in Hardback Audio and E-Book.

It seems a long, long time ago.

So long!

That we were last speaking of Mattis political of the Wars of the Roses.

I've missed it!

But now we're back.

So, shall we have a little recap?

We left our noble house of York, high-fiving and fist-pumping their way around the party circuit.

They had for all intents and purposes eradicated the House of Lancaster.

Margaret von Zhu was captured and under control.

All the Lancaster in May layers had been thoroughly toasted and the only remaining imp was from the House of Tudor, the 14-year-old Henry Tudor, who'd fled to Brittany with his uncle Jasper.

Now all that remained was to share the spoils amongst the victors and have a hoot.

Now there are going to be a lot of names, a lot of names in the following episode and I'd really like to apologise.

Some of you will hopefully recognise some of the names like Gloucester and Clarence and Hastings and Antony Woodville.
