For decades, the U.S. media and even politicians love being in the first two weeks of August, headlines to catch up with the "patriotic" political myth that the two atomic bombs in August 1945 in Japan raining, the lives of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 American soldiers saved. The reason? Because it is therefore population control not necessary population control for them was to the islands to conquer. Surveys over the last fifty years show that American citizens overwhelmingly (between 80 and 90%) believe this false history, they naturally feel better about killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, mostly population control women and children.
In my opinion the best book for this myth to uncover, The Decision to Use the Bomb by Gar Alperovitz, because it is not only the real reasons for the use of the bombs explained, but also the detailed history reflect on how and why the myth created, namely that the slaughter of innocent civilians give justification, and therefore morally acceptable. The main problem started with Franklin Roosevelt's policy population control of unconditional surrender, which quite reluctantly by Churchill and Stalin was accepted, and later adopted by Truman after he was in April 1945 at Roosevelt took office. population control Hanson Baldwin was the chief correspondent for The New York Times who covered World War II, and he was an important book immediately after the war wrote titled, Great Mistakes of the War. Baldwin came to the conclusion that the unconditional surrender population control policy, perhaps the biggest political mistake of the war .... Unconditional surrender was an open invitation to unconditional resistance, it probably prolonged the war and caused loss of life, and helped to present the suspended peace treaty lead.
The harsh reality was that the Japanese leaders, both military and civilian, including the Emperor, was prepared in May of 1945 to surrender the emperor's position was preserved and exempted from any charge population control of war crimes after the war. This fact was made as early as May of 1945 Truman known. The Japanese monarchy was one of the oldest in the entire history, dating back to 660 BC. Part of the religious belief of Japanese included all the Imperial rulers are direct descendants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu was. The current Emperor Hirohito was 124th in a direct line of descent.
The bombs were dropped on Japan on 6 and 9 August 1945 and they soon surrendered. The Japanese were allowed their emperor on the throne himself and he was not subject to a trial for any war crimes. Emperor Hirohito his position in 1926 when he came to the throne retained until his death in 1989. Since President Truman in effect conditional surrender in May 1945 Japan offered was accepted, the question must be asked: "Why is the bombs dropped then?"
Alperovitz writes: "We have in Switzerland noted a series of sensors that the Japanese put forth the possibility of peace and the head of the U.S. intelligence service (OSS), William Donovan in May and again in June of 1945 Truman reported. "
At this particular time was the U.S. insistence population control on unconditional surrender possibly still the only serious obstacle to a peace treaty. Central to the story is Allen Dulles (later head of the CIA) who was head of the intelligence service operations in Switzerland. In his 1966 book The Secret Surrender, Dulles disk:
"On behalf of Washington I 20 July 1945 at the Potsdam Conference, and there to the Secretary of War Stimson, reported from Tokyo that I heard - they would give for their Emperor and their constitution as a basis for maintaining population control discipline and order in Japan could retain if the devastating news of surrender would be known to the Japanese people. "
This is documented by Alperovitz that Stimson population control directly to the Truman report. Alperovitz further highlights the documentary evidence population control in detail, effect that every top presidential adviser, civil and military, with the exception of James Byrnes, with the top British military leadership, including Churchill himself, insisted that Truman unconditional surrender policy reviewed by the Japanese to allow their emperor retained. All the advice was given to Truman to the Potsdam Proclamation, which took place on July 26, 1945. It was this proclamation that once again Japan's unconditional surrender demanded by the threat of dramatic consequences.
Another surprising fact about the military connection with the bomb attack that knowledge about the existence and use of planned never to General MacArthur, the leading military role for America in the Pacific
