What Truman Said When He Learned The Atomic Bomb Had Successfully Destroyed Hiroshima.
On August 6, 1945, President Truman learned the atomic bomb worked, declaring, "This is the greatest thing in history." While his words sound callous given the tragedy in Hiroshima, they were an expression of overwhelming relief from the crushing weight of responsibility he had carried for months. Truman saw the bomb not as a cause for celebration, but as the only path to end a brutal war and avert an invasion of Japan projected to cost hundreds of thousands of American lives. This video explores the impossible choice Truman faced and what he truly meant when he saw the end of the world's most devastating conflict within reach.
