Summary: Its not about whether to drop the bomb or not
Comment: The above reviews suck...Ok, the book if you (with exception to the third review) read the preface jackson, is about "HOW" the bomb was used in dimplomacy...ok, just read the title maybe that will give you a clue..bible of revisionism give me a break.

Summary: Great book -
Comment: All indications from the secret negotiations between the Americans and the Japanese and, retrospectively, from the complete devastation of Japan point to Dr. Alperovitz's claim: The atomic bombs were unnecessary for the war's conclusion.

Given the fact that more than 200K civilians were specifically targeted and instantaneously incinerated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this book leaves me the following thought: What a dreadful sin we have committed ...

Rating: 1
Summary: Inaccurate and Disproven
Comment: The Bible of the Revisionists and People who do not know history. This theory has been disproven so many times already.

Atomic Diplomacy is the mistaken belief that the United States did not need to use the atomic bombs on Japan at the end of WWII. Atomic Diplomacy is the belief the bombs were used to scare the Soviets and not to end the war.

This theory is garbage because it ignores the evidence. The evidence is overwhelming that Truman used the bomb to end the war and prevent further casaulties. Truman's memoirs, Truman biographers, WWII historians, all know this to be true. Documentary evidence shows this to be true. Yet, revisionists still believe otherwise.

I am glad this book raised the questions that it did. I enjoy historical debate. But the debate is over. Do not trust this book. It ignores evidence, facts, and history.
