Man and the Atom!

Command the Morning is a story of love and determination and hope, involving the most important topic of our time.

It is above all a story of men and women—of scientists pursuuing an idea that could benefit all mankind; of generals diverting the emphasis to the destruction of the enemy; of wives suddenly alone and unnoticed in the frenzied struggle to succeed.

Command the Morning tells the moving human story behind the headlines and historic drama of the atom bomb. It catches the excitment of man's dream of harnassing a power as great as the sun itself, and it surges ahead to the momentous day that ended a war and plunged mankind into a frightening new era.
