The Real Reason Truman Dropped the Atom Bomb - lewrockwell.com
Excerpt from this article:
"General/President Dwight Eisenhower discusses this in his 1963 memoir, The White House Years: Mandate for Change,
1953-1956...'my belief
that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was
completely unnecessary..' (source)...''The Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary
to hit them with that awful thing… I hated to see our country be the
first to use such a weapon.” (source)...Another great example comes from General Douglas MacArthur, who sent a
40-page memorandum to President Roosevelt that clearly outlines five
different surrender overtures from high ranking Japanese officials. This
memo was also revealed on the front page of the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Times on August 19th, 1945."
