Overview

What happens when the voices of history refuse to stay silent? In GARRETT M. GRAFF NEW MEMOIR 2025: From Sap to Power: Voices Who Made the Atomic Age, award-winning journalist Garrett M. Graff turns his lens inward, tracing a personal journey through the shadows of the Manhattan Project, the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the unspoken costs of the Cold War nuclear era. From childhood memories shaped by duck-and-cover drills to long hours spent in archives filled with declassified files, diaries, and photographs, Graff uncovers the fragments of a past that still shapes our present. Along the way, he speaks with the women who ran the Calutrons at Oak Ridge, the pilots who carried atomic payloads across the Pacific, and the hibakusha - survivors of the bomb - who remind us that silence can be as powerful as memory. Part memoir, part oral history, and part reckoning, From Sap to Power explores the moral weight of invention, the legacy of secrecy, and the way ordinary people's lives became entangled with extraordinary destructive power. For readers of nuclear history, World War II memoirs, Cold War nonfiction, and biographies of scientists and soldiers, this book offers an unforgettable window into the human stories that made the Atomic Age. If you've ever wondered how the Manhattan Project shaped global politics, how the nuclear legacy continues to echo in today's world, or how one person's search for truth can carry the voices of the past forward, this memoir will stay with you long after the last page.
