Truman’s Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb

truman atomic bomb2 pm in the Community Room, Lower Level 
In a memorable scene from the movie Oppenheimer, President Truman bristles when J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Manhattan Project, expresses guilt over the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In their real-life meeting at the White House, Truman is believed to have replied: “the blood [is] on my hands-- let me worry about that.”

Post doctoral fellow, high school and college teacher, Justin Suran, will review America’s use of atomic weapons at the end of World War II as one of the most significant events of the twentieth century. How have “orthodox” and “revisionist” historians debated the necessity and morality of Truman’s decision? How do recently published histories characterize Truman’s use of nuclear weapons? What relevance might the dilemmas of the early Atomic Age have for us today?
