Introduction: The Dilemma
Part One. Sleepless
"The terrible, 'the awful,' 'the diabolical'"
Target practice
'May[be] Frankenstein or means for World Peace'
The stomach art
"There are no civilians in Japan"
The patient progresses
"You judge it; I can't"
Prompt and utter
"Shall the worst occur"
A bucket of tar
"What the hell, let's take chance"
Part Two. Terrible responsibility
"I had a rather sharp little attack"
Denial
"Fire every damn flare in the airplane!"
Sacred decision
"There is life in death"
Gambits
"The superforts are not flying today"
Plots
"What are you thinking of?"
Is Tokyo next?
"This man is tottering"
To bear the unbearable
"Like a mid-summer's night dream"
No high ground
"The only way you can make a man trustworthy"
