It appears on historynewsnetwork.org, a site for history buffs out of the College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University. The authors argue that when the bombs were dropped, the Japanese were already on the âverge of defeat.â Surrender, claim authors Jeremy Kuzmarov and Roger Peace, âcould likely have been achieved without the atomic bomb.â17
A bold claim that, if true, could have prevented untold human suffering. Itâs not quite what you remember from your history books. Then again, textbooks lag yearsâsometimes decadesâbehind the latest scholarship. Is this what the latest research says? Would a room full of historians nod in unison?
Wikipediaâs entry on the âAtomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasakiâ is longâexcruciatingly long. It runs thirty-seven pages, with a five-page bibliography and over 350 references. Itâs easy to get lost. Since our goal is to read the room, not immerse ourselves in every detail, we do a quick scan of the table of contents. Near the end, we spy a subsection called âDebate over the Bombings.â Itâs blissfully short. Two paragraphs.
The first sentence hints that things are, well, letâs just say a bit more complicated than authors Kuzmarov and Peace let on. The role of the bombings, according to Wikipedia, are âthe subject of scholarly and popular debate.â18
