And so it fell to a new president--Harry S. Truman--to make the fateful decision to drop two atomic bombs--one on Hiroshima and one on Nagasaki--and bring the war to rapid close. Now, even seventy years later, can anyone know if this was the right choice? In a thoughtful account of these history-changing events, Jess Brallier explains the leadup to the bombing, what the terrible results of it were, and how the threat of atomic war has colored world events since.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672621900049,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781524792657.jpg?v=1781520534","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-what-was-the-bombing-of-hiroshima-by-jess-brallier","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
