About this title:
Synopsis: Presents twenty documents relating to the development and use of the atomic bomb
From Library Journal:
Editor Ferrell (Choosing Truman, LJ 3/15/94) has gathered the basic documents that help us to understand the terrible calculus that went into President Truman's decision to order the dropping of nuclear weapons on two Japanese cities on August 6 and 9, 1945. The collection was compiled from Truman's files at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. The documents reveal that by mid-June 1945, American military leaders were becoming fearful of what their military services might be up against in an invasion of Japan. There were estimates as high as 46,000 casualties. On Iwo Jima, 6200 U.S. marines were killed; and on Okinawa a total of 13,000 died?35 percent of the attacking force. Truman remarked with horror at the possibility that an invasion of Japan would amount to another Okinawa from one end of Japan to the other. American officials were willing to take almost any measure to end what had become a fight to the finish against Japan. This is a strong history lesson. Recommended for all Truman collections.?Michael Coleman, Regional Lib. for Blind & Physically Handicapped, Montgomery, Ala.
