Truman's Public Defense and Private Doubts

In August 1945, a single decision changed the course of history and introduced a weapon unlike anything the world had ever seen. 

The choice to drop the atomic bomb didn’t just end World War II; it opened the nuclear age and sparked debates that continue to this day.

Learn more about the decision to use the atomic bomb, why it was made, and the consequences that still shape our world today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
