Summary
Professor Alex Wellerstein joins to discuss his book, 'The Most Awful Responsibility,' which challenges conventional narratives about the use of atomic bombs on Japanese cities. Wellerstein argues that President Truman never decided whether to use the atomic bomb. The decision Truman actually made was regarding the bomb's target, where he misunderstood the cost to civilian lives. This episode explores the blind spots and humanity that impact Presidential decision making.
