I am majoring in Secondary Social Studies Education at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I am writing a paper where I must argue the point that the dropping of the Atomic bombs in world war 2 actually save hundreds of thousands of lives.

I am arguing that an all out invasion would have lead to several more losses for both the United States as well as Japan.

Please share your opinions on the subject.

Also, i am having a hard time finding legitimate references for my topic. If anyone knows of any books and / or websites that i may use as sources please post them here.

anyone on here familier with "operation olympic"?

Thank you! i look forward to future discussions on these forums as a new member
