The true story of the Manhattan Project you haven't heard about! On May 19, 1945, eleven days after the surrender of Nazi Germany in Europe, a U-boat was escorted into Portsmouth Naval Yard, New Hampshire. News reporters covering the surrender of U-234 were ordered, contrary to all previous and later U-boat surrender procedures, to keep their distance from crew members and passengers of U-234, on threat of being shot by the attending Marine guards. Why the tight security? Buried in the nose of the mammoth boat, sealed in cylinders lined with gold, was 560 kilograms, 1,120 pounds, of enriched uranium oxide labeled U235-the fissile material from which atom bombs are made. Following ten years of research, author Carter Hydrick presents documentation that demonstrates surrendered German components from U-234 were used by the Manhattan Project to complete both the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki to defeat the Japanese, win World War Two and usher in the Nuclear Age.

Seller's Description:
Very good. xvi, 357, [7] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Carter Plymton Hydrick has been a professional writer and communicator for over a quarter century. While Critical Mass is his first book, he has written or produced hundreds of scripts, articles, and advertisements, as well as written, produced and directed over 100 film and video productions, including work on feature films. He has served as director of corporate communications for a Fortune 500 company, and as a global marketing executive for one of the world's largest computer companies. On May 19, 1945, eleven days after the surrender of Nazi Germany in Europe, a U-boat was escorted into Portsmouth Naval Yard, New Hampshire. News reporters covering the surrender of U-234 were ordered, contrary to all previous and later U-boat surrender procedures, to keep their distance from crew members and passengers of U-234, on threat of being shot by the attending Marine guards. Why the tight security? Buried in the nose of the specially-built mammoth boat, sealed in cylinders "lined with gold, " was 1, 120 pounds of enriched uranium labeled "U235"the fissile material from which atom bombs are made. Critical Mass documents how these Nazi bomb components were then used by the Manhattan Project to complete both the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, to defeat the Japanese and win World War Two and global domination in the modern age. Why did a history professor at a major American university who had defended the traditional history of the atomic bomb against Critical Mass in two television news broadcasts, after later seeing Carter Hydrick's research, obtain a university grant for Mr. Hydrick to present his findings to the university's chapter of the national collegiate historical honors society (Phi Alpha Theta)? Because what Carter Hydrick discovered is true. The Nazis did surrender enriched uranium and other atomic bomb components to the United States that, according to all of the evidence, were used in the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now you can find out how it happened! Read Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium for the United States' Atomic Bomb.
