Liberals (and a handful of conservatives) believe dropping the atom bombs on Japan in August 1945 was immoral.  But what was the alternative?  Could the U.S. have won the war in a less bloody fashion?  Could American and Japanese lives have been saved?  Mike Cote – a highly knowledgeable historian whose articles have been published by National Review and The Federalist – discusses these fascinating questions and more.
