How I Blew Up Philadelphia

How I Blew Up Philadelphia is an autobiographical memoir written by Clarence Potter. He began writing the book shortly after being found not guilty of violating the laws of war in the wake of his sneaking an atomic bomb into Philadelphia and detonating it in 1944. As of 1945, the book is still a work in progress.

Potter began the book with a recollection of the day he met Jake Featherston during the Great War.
