The effects of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Foreword
The United States Strategic Bombing Survey was established by the Secretary of War on 3 November 1944, pursuant to a directive from the late President Roosevelt. Its mission was to conduct an impartial and expert study of the effects of our aerial attack on Germany, to be used in connection with air attacks on Japan and to establish a basis for evaluating the importance and potentialities of air power as an instrument of military strategy, for planning the future development of the United States armed forces, and for determining future economic policies with respect to the national defense. A summary report and some 200 supporting reports containing the findings of the Survey in Germany have been published.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1022/thumbnail.jp
Japan\u27s struggle to end the war
Preface
While the impact of Allied air operations in the entire Pacific war bore directly upon the enemy\u27s military and economic capabilities for resisting, only by translating these military and economic effects into political events could our announced war aim of unconditional surrender be realized. Japan\u27s acceptance of defeat without invasion while still possessed of 2 1/2 million combat-equipped troops and 9,000 Kamikaze airplanes in the home islands, reveal how persuasively the consequences of our operations were translated into political results. The nature of Japanese politics and its vulnerability and responses to air assault constituted therefore a major and significant line of inquiry for the Survey.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1023/thumbnail.jp
