One of the difficulties in talking with Americans in particular about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is that many of them have, at best, a half-remembered high-school version of that history in their head, and the subject is typically not covered well in high school.

Get off your high horse. I told you I am willing to learn *& that I'll read it. But your *opinion is meaningless* unless it includes the evidence this entire thread rests upon, that Japan told America it was willing to unconditionally surrender *before the bombs were dropped.

If you want to read just one book, try Hasegawa's Racing the Enemy. It's a good read. You don't have to agree with the conclusion, but he's great on evidence. And again, I never claimed what you keep thinking I've claimed. So you know — insist on it if you want. But it's wrong.

If you really want to insult me, bringing up my education is not really the best way to do it. If you haven't used NUKEMAP, check it out. I bet you'll find it interesting, despite yourself.http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
