peace. Compared to the technology of 1945, the

to be used again. It was seen as the weapon that
would put an end to war. In Keith Eubank's "The

ghastly effects of such a weapon, it offered the
best choice for a quick and easy defeat of Japan.

Regret is unacceptable in terms of using a

postwar regret and nuclear warfare. The surprise
attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, thrust
the United States into World War II, and thus
helped reshape modern warfa...
