In retrospect, the atomic bomb made our assistance of Stalin after 1943 unnecessary to America's interests. But in 1943 America was only beginning to construct plants to produce plutonium, the $2 billion Manhattan Project was still located in a small office in Manhattan, and atomic bombs were merely a theoretical possibility. If our first atomic bomb had not been completed by July 1945, we would have paid almost any price to buy Russian assistance in attacking Japan. Lend-Lease aid to Stalin after 1943 was a small price to keep our options open. .
