This book explores the American use of atomic bombs, and the role
these weapons played in the defeat of the Japanese Empire in World
War II. It focuses on President Harry S. Truman's decision making
regarding this most controversial of all his decisions. The book
relies on notable archival research, and the best and most recent
scholarship on the subject to fashion an incisive overview that is
fair and forceful in its judgments. This study addresses a subject
that has been much debated among historians, and it confronts
head-on the highly disputed claim that the Truman administration
practiced atomic diplomacy. The book goes beyond its central
historical analysis to ask whether it was morally right for the
United States to use these terrible weapons against Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. It also provides a balanced evaluation of the
relationship between atomic weapons and the origins of the Cold
War.
