Liveblogging World War II: June 11, 1945: Atomic Bomb: The Franck Report
- jacquesm 11y agoIncredibly prescient, especially the bit about how the use of the weapon on Japan would set the stage for other countries to become wary of the US claiming to aim for disarmament. It also bolsters the opinion that the use of the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a show of force intended to establish a post-war dominance rather than that it was the only way Japan was going to be forced into submission. Horrific stuff.
