Imperial Tragedy reveals Japan's World War II atomic project
The book Imperial Tragedy by Thomas M. Coffey confirms Japan's WWII atomic program named Project A led by Dr Yoshio Nishina under the Imperial Navy.

Coffey notes that even then experts doubted the feasibility of a two billion dollar atomic bomb effort for the United States.
