Byrnes, the atomic bomb, and the Pacific War -- The Potsdam Conference, the Trinity test, and 'atomic diplomacy' -- Hiroshima, the Japanese, and the Soviets -- The Japanese surrender -- Necessary, but was It right? -- Byrnes, the Soviets, and the American atomic monopoly -- The atomic bomb and the origins of the Cold War. 330 $aThis book explores the American use of atomic bombs and the role these weapons played in the defeat of the Japanese Empire in World War II. It focuses on President Harry S. Truman's decision-making regarding this most controversial of all his decisions. The book relies on notable archival research and the best and most recent scholarship on the subject to fashion an incisive overview that is fair and forceful in its judgments. This study addresses a subject that has been much debated among historians and it confronts head-on the highly disputed claim that the Truman administration practised 'atomic diplomacy'. The book goes beyond its central historical analysis to ask whether it was morally right for the United States to use these terrible weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also provides a balanced evaluation of the relationship between atomic weapons and the origins of the Cold War. 410 0$aCambridge essential histories. 606 $aAtomic bomb$xHistory 606 $aAtomic bomb$xMoral and ethical aspects 607 $aHiroshima-shi (Japan)$xHistory$yBombardment, 1945$xMoral and ethical aspects 607 $aNagasaki-shi (Japan)$xHistory$yBombardment, 1945$xMoral and ethical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy$xDecision making 615 0$aAtomic bomb$xHistory. 615 0$aAtomic bomb$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a940.54/2521954 700 $aMiscamble$b Wilson D.$f1954-$0853464 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461483103321 996 $aThe most controversial decision$91905662 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00932nam a2200241 a 4500 001 991001771639707536 008 030912s1995 it 000 0 ita d 020 $a8886358067 035 $ab12194797-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Filosofia$bita 100 1 $aRey, Jean Michel$0385735 245 12$aI sogni della filosofia spiegati dai sogni della psicanalisi :$b(Descartes-Freud) /$ca cura di Jean Michel Rey 260 $aNapoli :$bFilema,$c1995 300 $a127 p. ;$c20 cm 600 10$aFreud, Sigmund 600 10$aDescartes, Rene 650 4$aPsicanalisi e Filosofia 907 $a.b12194797$b21-09-06$c12-09-03 912 $a991001771639707536 945 $aLE005 194 DES01.
