Summary:

During the summer of 1945, World War II was still raging. Japan refused to surrender. Many US officials thought the best solution to save lives and end the war early was to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. Others disagreed. The US Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb explores the perspectives of those who were involved in the decision to drop the bombs.
