NewsMax, 8/05/2014, Hiroshima Anniversary: Rethinking That Day
The article above is worth reading. Some may consider it revisionist history. According to the author, many, many of our top WWII military leaders opposed the atomic bombing of Japan because (1) Japan was clearly defeated by mid-1945 and (2) they opposed the continued bombing of civilians. The author does not paint a good portrait of POTUS #33 HST.
Thank you for posting the Newsmax article; I learned a lot I didn’t know from it. I had posted my previous comment before I read that article. I still think it is unfair for people to judge Harry Truman using information only known through hindsight. FYI, substantially more civilians were killed during the bombing of Dresden, Germany by Britain and the United States than were killed in either of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki./rwa
