An outstanding documentary from the Japanese perspective. Yet it is a shame that the old story of the necessity of the Bomb still remains while Japan was on the verge of surrender. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilian centers of no military value housing POWS of all nations.. Fer of the Soviet Union entering the war really motivated Truman.
