"This book explores the American use of atomic bombs, and the role these weapons played in the defeat of the Japanese Empire in World War II. It focuses on President Harry S. Truman's decision making regarding this most controversial of all his decisions. The book relies on notable archival research, and the best and most recent scholarship on the subject to fashion an incisive overview that is fair and forceful in its judgments. This study addresses a subject that has been much debated among historians, and it confronts head-on the highly disputed claim that the Truman administration practiced atomic diplomacy. The book goes beyond its central historical analysis to ask whether it was morally right for the United States to use these terrible weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also provides a balanced evaluation of the relationship between atomic weapons and the origins of the Cold War"--Provided by publisher.

"President Harry S. Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on the Japanese home islands in 1945 was a continuation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's atomic legacy. With Roosevelt's untimely death an unprepared Truman was thrust into the presidency. He had neither the executive political background nor necessary mentoring from President Roosevelt to rely on. Instead--in his moment of crisis--Truman deliberately sought out Roosevelt's domestic, foreign and war legacy. In order to piece together Roosevelt's legacy Truman turned to Roosevelt's advisors and the fallen president's written documents. Then, without considering the ramifications, Truman implemented Roosevelt's legacy. Truman followed a similar pattern in his desire to implement Roosevelt's atomic legacy. As with the diplomatic and war efforts, prior to becoming President, Truman had little, if any, knowledge of US efforts to build an atomic weapon. Thus, Roosevelt's atomic advisors played a key role in defining Roosevelt's atomic legacy and implementing that legacy. For his part, Truman failed to consider the consequences of implementing this portion of Roosevelt's legacy. Instead of questioning the efficacy of Roosevelt's atomic legacy, Truman chose the path of noninterference. He accepted Roosevelt's atomic legacy at face value and directed the employment of atomic weapons against city-sized targets. Only after receiving the reports describing the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to include the number of civilian casualties, did Truman truly consider the cost of dropping the atomic bombs. His initial response to the reports was to remove the atomic option from future war plans. However, shortly thereafter Roosevelt's atomic legacy compelled Truman to once again consider employing atomic weapons against Japan. Fortunately, another bomb was not ready for employment."--Abstract.

Truman's decision to use nuclear weapons to end the War in the Pacific is the subject of much debate. The purpose of this paper is to look at the debate between traditional and revisionist historian views on the subject and gain a better understanding of Truman's decision. The paper shows support for the theory that Truman's decision was appropriate because it was his best available option. It also shows that the Atom bomb actually attacked Japan's center of gravity, the will of the elite Japanese leadership team who administered the war. It did this while at the same time protecting what had become the United States center of gravity by the end of the War-the will of the people of the United States to continue a protracted, costly war.

In his highly praised book Faith and the Presidency, Gary Scott Smith cast a revealing light on the role religion has played in presidential politics throughout our nation's history, offering comprehensive, even-handed examinations of the role of religion in the lives, politics, and policies of eleven presidents. Now, in Religion in the Oval Office, Smith takes on eleven more of our nation's most interesting and influential chief executives: John Adams, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William McKinley, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Drawing on a wide range of sources and paying close attention to historical context and America's shifting social and moral values, he examines their religious beliefs, commitments, affiliations, and practices and scrutinizes their relationships with religious leaders and communities. The result is a fascinating account of the ways in which religion has helped shape the course of our history. From John Quincy Adams' treatment of Native Americans, to Harry Truman's decision to recognize Israel, to Bill Clinton's promotion of religious liberty and welfare reform, to Barack Obama's policies on poverty and gay rights, Smith shows how strongly our presidents' religious commitments have affected policy from the earliest days of our nation to the present. Together with Faith and the Presidency, Religion in the Oval Office provides the most comprehensive examination of the inseparable and intriguing relationship between faith and the American presidency. This book will be invaluable to anyone interested in the presidency and the role of religion in politics.
