        the VP was a useless role. FDR treated Truman like #$*!. His guy was Wallace who got replaced as VP by the Democratic machine

        @cate_long I had the same thought. Partly confirms his use of Truman who I suspect was very much kept in the dark & isolated.

        I like the bit about the map room officer having discretion ie powers greater than the VP.

        Poor Harry. No wonder he didn't know much when he suddenly became president.

        Truman used Japan as a proving grounds for atomic weapons. His judgment wasn't exactly stellar

        It ended the war. What if it were your kid slated to invade Japan?

        That's the myth, but not exactly the truth. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinions/five-myths-about-the-atomic-bomb/2015/07/31/32dbc15c-3620-11e5-b673-1df005a0fb28_story.html …

        Somewhat curt considering the vice-president had not yet been told about the atom bomb and air travel was dicey.

        Did Truman regularly send verbose, routine correspondence to FDR?
