B Causing a fission reaction in several kilograms of uranium and plutonium and killing ‘over 200,000 people 60 years ago was done more to impress the Soviet Union than to cow Japan, they say. And the US President who took the decision, Harry Truman, was culpable, they add. C “He knew he was beginning the process of annihilation of the species,” says Peter Kuznick, director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University in Washington DC, US. “It was not just a war crime; it was a crime against humanity.” D According to the official US version of history, an A-bomb was dropped on Hiro- shima on 6 August 1945, and another on Nagasaki three days later, to force Japan to surrender. The destruction was necessary to bring a rapid end to the war without the need for a costly US invasion. E But this is disputed by Kuznick and Mark Selden, a historian from Cornell Univer- sity in Ithaca, New York, US. They are presenting their evidence at a meeting in London on Thursday organized by Greenpeace and others to coincide with the 60% anniversary of thebombings. : F _ New studies of the US, Japanese and Soviet diplomatic archives suggest that Tru- ‘man’s main motive was to limit Soviet expansion in Asia, Kuznick claims. Japan surren- dered because the Soviet Union began an invasion a few days after the Hiroshima bombing, not because of the atomic bombs themselves, he says. G According to an account by Walter Brown, assistant to the US Secretary of State James Bymes, Truman agreed at a meeting three days before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima that Japan was “looking for peace”. Truman was told by his army generals, Douglas Macarthur and Dwight Eisenhower, and his naval chief of staff, William Leahy, that there was no military need to use the bomb. H_ “Impressing Russia was more important than ending the war in Japan,” says Selden. Truman was also worried that he would be accused of wasting money on the Manhattan Project to build the first nuclear bombs, if the bomib was not used, he adds. I Kuznick and Selden’s arguments, however, were dismissed as “discredited” by Law- rence Freedman, a war expert from King’s College, London, UK, He says that Truman’s decision to bomb Hiroshima was “understandable in the circumstances”. J Truman's main aim had been to end the war with Japan, Freedman says, but adds that, with the wisdom of hindsight, the bombing may not have been militarily justified. Some people assumed that the US always had “a malicious and nasty motive”, he says, “but it ain’t necessarily so.” Do the following statements agree with the writer of the above reading passage? Please rite YES if the statement agrees with the writer; No if the statement does not agree with the writer; NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage. 1. The two atomic bombs killed more than 200,000 people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Kuznick and Selden hold contradicting views over the issue of Hiroshima bomb. Kuznick and Selden work at the same university. Japan is the only country that has been attacked with atomic bombs. ‘According to the American government, A-bombs were used to defeat Japan. ‘According to Kuznick, Japan surrendered because of the Russian army rather than the Acbonibs. ae ee According to Walter Brown, US army generals were against the use of A-bombs. 8. Walter Brown was the Secretary of State when Truman was the President of “America. 9. Selden believes that the sole reason for Truman to use A-bombs was to impress the Soviet Union. 10.
