The war in the Pacific is poised to invade the Japanese home islands where the entire population is being mobilized to augment Japanese forces totaling over 3.5 million.
The ‘Total War’ campaign, 1 April - 20 June 1945, confirmed the intensity of continued Japanese defense and the unlikelihood of accepting terms of surrender.
Panelists Ambassador (Ret) Jim Moriarty, Lt Gen (Ret) Dan "Fig" Leaf, and COL (Ret) John Hansen discuss the decision to employ newly developed atomic weapons. The discussion was shaped by the following questions:
What is an atom bomb?
1. What were the challenges and risks of its delivery.
2. Compare the military advantages with the stunning effects.
What was the rationale for its use?
How has this weapon influenced/shaped all elements of National Power since its employment, August 6th and 9th, 1945.
What lessons, cautions, warnings, and opportunities do we have today?
Co-Moderated by Karen Knudsen and Dr Lyla Berg.
