When your friends criticize our dropping the A-Bomb, have this info handy
Exceptionally well produced, this gives all the why's, the wherefore's and what it meant to both sides at the time.
It provides what the critics are ignorant about. That's why I've kept it and will use it whenever I encounter the mindless remarks from people who know little or no American history, or who just dislike this country and just only wish to portray us as evil.
