The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb Paperback - 1996
by Gar Alperovitz
Controversial in nature, this book demonstrates that the United States did not need to use the atomic bomb against Japan. Alperovitz criticizes one of the most hotly debated precursory events to the Cold War, an event that was largely responsible for the evolution of post-World War II American politics and culture.
First line
Among historians of World War II it is now a commonplace that Japanese power disintegrated rapidly in the spring and summer of 1945-that from the early months of that year, their defeat was certain.
