Atomic Diplomacy by Gar Alperovitz
This revised edition of a work first published in 1960, provides new evidence to support the thesis that the primary reason for bombing Hiroshima was not to end the war on Japan, but to make the Russians more manageable. It re-evaluates the decisions that precipitated the use of atomic weapons.
