Prompt and Utter Destruction: Truman and the Use of Atomic Bombs Against Japan by J. Samuel Walker
The decision to use atomic bombs against Japan in WWII is a divisive subject amongst historians. Usually you find this as a small segment in recounts of the entire war. I appreciated that Walker wrote only about this decision and nothing else. This book is short enough not to be boring. Walker examines the reasoning behind the decision to use the bombs in a concise, straight forward manner.
A recommend for the history reader.
