Truman’s THIRD ATOMIC BOMB Was A Disaster

Описание: August 10th, 1945. The newspapers say the war is almost over. Hiroshima is gone. Nagasaki is burning. Commentators talk about “the dawn of the atomic age” like the story is already finished. It is not. In Washington, D.C. General George Marshall, the Army’s chief of staff, has just received an urgent memo from the man behind the Manhattan Project. Lieutenant General Leslie Groves. It explains that another plutonium core is being cast at Los Alamos. If Japan refuses to surrender, a third atomic bomb will be ready within days. Shipping can be arranged. And a target can be chosen. As if dropping nukes has become a regular thing. But instead of hitting Japan, the third bomb would go on to kill Americans. This was the moment the atomic bomb stopped being a last resort and started becoming the way modern power really works.
