The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
​​​​​​​How the Bombs Sent Shock Waves Across the World

To most people, the atomic bomb isn’t one of the first examples thought of when considering communication in American history, however as we dig deeper into the subject, it can be seen how the explosive nuclear fission that layed at the heart of this bomb ended up speaking louder than words ever could. ​​​​​​​

"We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate."
