Hiroshima and Nagasaki: A Reader

About Sixty-Eight years ago, the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs in the course of three days. The first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The second atomic bomb was dropped three days later on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. Shortly afterwards, Japan formally surrendered to the U.S. The conventional narrative of this event was that the Japanese were not prepared to surrender to the U.S. and that had the U.S. military invaded the Japanese mainland, American casualties would have been incredibly costly. In other words, dropping the most powerful weapons in the world on two cities, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of lives was necessary to win World War 2. Those of us who love liberty must challenge this conventional account. For if people continue to believe that dropping atom bombs on a country that was ready to surrender was necessary to end World War 2, then Americans will continue to support and cheer for an aggressive and destructive foreign policy of war and empire while extolling it's "success stories". Below is a couple of articles that help to give a much more accurate account of the this historical event.
