@wellerstein Was Kanazawa on Groves's hit list, too? Like Kyoto, it's a cultural and historical treasure
Today would be anniversary of the bombing of Kyoto, not Hiroshima, if Gen. Groves had his way. This was aiming point: http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=15&lat=34.9856569&lng=135.7422373&hob_opt=2&hob_psi=5&hob_ft=1968&zm=14 …

@wellerstein I wondered how I might have thought that Kanazawa was spared, and came across this book passage http://tinyurl.com/l6y4qrl

@wellerstein@jkbloodtreasure Stimson took it off target list as he had been there pre-war. -
@LawDavF@jkbloodtreasure I will be writing on Kyoto on my blog this Friday—there is another angle to it that I feel has gone unrecognized. -
@wellerstein@LawDavF look forward to that.
