If the Japanese were so eager to surrender, why hadn't they before that first bomb was dropped? Or why didn't they immediately after the first bomb? Why did they wait till several days after the second? Did they want to make sure that first wasn't just some crazy lucky fluke of an explosion and that we really did have a superbomb? And that we had more than one? As for revisionist history: Most events are much clear with 50 years hindsight. And most decisions would be made differently if the decision makers knew what people would know 50 years later. And one of those decisions would have been the Japanese decision to bomb Pearl Harbor. Because they never had a chance of winning that war, Bomb or no Bomb.
