Eighty years ago, the U.S. government sought to deceive the public about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, downplaying the effects of the atomic bombs and claiming radiation sickness was a "very pleasant way to die." BOMBSHELL tells the story of the intrepid reporters who struggled to unearth the truth.
