Reply #157: However you ignored the first link in the search, Ike + Heroshima [View All]

his well documented article investigates President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s claim, made years after the event, that he vigorously opposed the use of the atomic bomb against Japan during a discussion with Henry Stimson in July of 1945. Barton Bernstein reviews the challenges to Eisenhower’s claims found in the memoirs of Harry Truman and of Stimson, and he describes General Leslie Groves’ investigations of Eisenhower's claim. The author also critically assesses other apparently supporting evidence, and finds it to be circumstantial or indirectly derived from Eisenhower's own statements. Bernstein concludes that while Eisenhower might have had misgivings about the atomic bomb and probably believed his own recollection, it is unlikely that the episode occurred as Eisenhower recalled it.
