FDR. atomic physics. nuclear weapons research. ~ One of the most controversial issues absorbing America today: Was it necessary to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Fifty years after the fateful summer of 1945, we are still debating Harry Truman's decision. Now, in an exhaustive, thoroughly documented study of the events of that time, Gar Alperovitz makes plain why the United States did not need to deploy the bomb, how Truman was advised of alternatives to it by nearly every civilian and military adviser, and how his final decision was later justified by what amounted to a deception~the claim that the action saved half a million to a million American soldiers who might otherwise have died in an invasion. Alperovitz demonstrates that Japan was close to surrender, that it was profoundly threatened by the prospect of Soviet entry into the war, and that American leaders knew the end was near. Military commanders like Eisenhower, Arnold, and Leahy saw no need to use the bomb; most of Truman's key Cabinet members urged a clarification of the position of Japan's Emperor to speed surrender. But the inexperienced president listened most intently to his incoming secretary of state, James F. Byrnes, and Byrnes was convinced the bomb would be an important diplomatic instrument in dealing with the Soviets. The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb is based on many years of archival research and includes important new documentary discoveries. It assesses who knew what and when, and who did what and why. It is the fullest account yet written of this momentous and sobering episode in twentieth~century history.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - One of the unfortunate truths in life is that the history of people of color contains gaps due to the lack of recognition of our contributions to society or to an intentional sanitizing of those accomplishments. On November 23, 2022, the movie Devotion was released. It is the remarkable story of J…esse Brown, the first African American aviator in US Navy history, who served in the 1950s. When I think about all the stories of extraordinary individuals in history that were a part of my formal education, there are so many, like Jesse Brown's, that remain stricken from the record. It matters that our stories are shared with others, as each of the unique aspects of our lives can be a blessing to someone and provide them with the steps necessary to help them reach their goals. Our stories provide much-needed context, whether they are mundane or extraordinary. They allow the world to know that we were here and the impact our lives made on the world, or concomitantly, how the world has influenced and shaped our lives. The stories profiled in this book focus on men of color in oral health who have blazed trails for themselves and others during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Throughout the book, you will read about candor and inspiration. We are thankful for our writers having shared so much of their journeys and their lives.
