Beahan, the bombadier who dropped the bomb on Nagasaki, to Gerald Henderson, "I trust that I go down in history with the dubious distinction of being the last person to release a nuclear weapon on fellow human beings because what the nuclear powers have in the arsenal make what we had in WWII look like firecrackers." 8vo, publisher's cloth; dust jacket, some tonings and chips. New York, 1946 [book imprint, inscribed at a later date]
