The Burning Mountain is a 1983 alternate history novel by Alfred Coppel. The key change in history in the novel is that the Trinity nuclear test of July 16, 1945 fails.[1] Then the novel goes on to depict the outcome of Operation Downfall – the 1946 invasion of Japan – by American forces.
The author does not mention that the Hiroshima Little Boy gun type enriched uranium bomb did not need testing.[2] However, there was only one Little Boy, and it did not make Japan surrender, so three days later the Fat Man plutonium implosion bomb, tested at Trinity, was used on Nagasaki.
