Five Days in August presents a different interpretation: that the military did not clearly understand the atomic bomb's revolutionary strategic potential, that the Allies were almost as stunned by the surrender as the Japanese were by the attack, and that not only had experts planned and fully anticipated the need for a third bomb, they were skeptical about whether the atomic bomb would work at all. With these ideas, Michael Gordin reorients the historical and contemporary conversation about the A-bomb and World War II."--BOOK JACKET. 651 0 $a Hiroshima-shi (Japan) $x History $y Bombardment, 1945. 651 0 $a Nagasaki-shi (Japan) $x History $y Bombardment, 1945. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Japan. 650 0 $a Capitulations, Military $z Japan $x History $y 20th century. 650 17 $a Kernwapens. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Bombardementen. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Conventionele wapens. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Capitulaties. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Tweede Wereldoorlog. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Japan. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten. $2 gtt 650 6 $a Bombe atomique $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $z Japon. 650 6 $a Capitulation militaire $z Japon $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a Hiroshima (Japon) $x Histoire $y 1945 (Bombardement) 651 6 $a Nagasaki (Japon) $x Histoire $y 1945 (Bombardement) 941 $a 8 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116145954.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823083411.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20100519083823.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29E4A80C2B0F11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b IOEInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
