many thousands of lives on both sides to attempt to invade the main
island. The war would be prolonged by the invasion. The US warned
the leaders of Japan that we had a bomb that would cause massive
destruction but they ignored our suggestions. Some people believe
dropping the bomb was the wrong decision because of the destruction
it caused in Japan.
