This is the story of a controversial book that is being contested by the Corliss family. In this book it portrays an accident that happened with one of the atomic bombs in which one American was killed others were irratiated the power of the weapon was greatly reduced. There's only one problem. In order for this story to be true a one Mr. Fuoco would have had to replace Mr. Corliss. This is because the story is told from the eyes of Mr. Fuoco, and in the story he replaces Mr. Corliss. The only thing is that he never did replace him and Fuoco never flew on the plane that dropped the atomic bomb.The Corliss family also had evidence showing that Mr. Corliss had been in the plane, including the metal he got for his role in the bombing. The man who wrote the book, Charles Pellegrino, response tivthis was that he was stunned. Saying that he was thouroughly duped. Mr. Fuoco had tons if pictures and papers and he honestly liked the guy and beleuved his story.
To me this shows how twisted history can be. They say history is written by the winner in this case that wasn't true. Mr. Fuoco was the one that got his name etched(almost) in a little peice of history. This could be the case with lots of other pieces of history. Can you imagine if the Corliss family hadn't been around. History could have been altered forever. I really enjoyed this story.
Although this book is no longer in print it can still be bought on Amazon.com for 40$ and sounds really cool so you can check it out there.
