This has been the "standard" rationalization. Truman might have believed this when he made his decision, but historians question its accuracy, today. I suspect I can find as many who do not question its accuracy as you can who do...the truth is we will never know. nuketesting.enviroweb.org "What would have happened without those weapons? There were plans to invade Japan. The estimates were that it would take 1 million American lives. It was certain it would have taken far more Japanese casualties," the Nobel laureate said. "So . . . the atom bomb saved lives, mostly Japanese lives. And the Soviets were eager to participate in an invasion. That occupation would have been far more oppressive on Japan."
