Lessons of Hiroshima
Using nuclear bombs on Japan was a political, not military, decision
Kevin Black
IT HAS BEEN observed so often that truth is the first casualty
of war that it is now a banal remark rather than an insightful
critical comment. However, of greater
consequence than the death of truth is the surrender of
critical thinking.
………….
The story of a million American lives (and many more Japanese lives)
saved by the A-bombs was a complete fabrication designed to
eliminate public criticism of the president's decision.
