Debated View: Atom Bomb Saved Japan Says Takemi
Dr. Takemi argues that Hiroshima Nagasaki bombing perhaps saved Japan by forcing surrender and averting a mass Japanese final stand. Reischauer backs the view while Japanese reaction splits. The piece notes nuclear options, postwar politics, and current Soviet threats to Japan. Mitsuro Muto of Waseda provides translator context.
