Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an effort to end the war in the Pacific. The atomic bomb killed approximately “80,000… and at least as many were injured by fire, radiation sickness, and the force of explosion” (Cayton 853). However, according to President Harry S.

Within my search I came across this article explaining the process that lead up to the ultimate decision of dropping the…
