You guys are making me nostalgic; I had to write a US Diplomatic History final exam on Truman using the bomb once

That's interesting. I'm having the same experience though it's tinged with more than a little been there and done that. When I was in seminary in the late 50s early 60s, one of the social ethicists, William Lee Miller, was working on the ethical questions about the Japanese atomic bombing. I don't know whether he ever published a book out of it but several of his doctoral candidates did dissertations on it.

And they were obsessed with it. Only talked about it. We ate together in a smallish cafeteria and these guys always huddled at the same table to go over their most recent readings. I got fascinated enough to make it a regular bit, two or three times a week. But, inevitably, it would get down to micro level questions. I dropped out.
