A nuclear historian gives a new, surprising account of one of the most controversial actions in history-how the United States deployed the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II-and the fallout that continues to haunt us. In the eight decades since the United States deployed the most destructive weapon ever used, conventional wisdom has held that American leaders were faced with a difficult choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Japanese and Allied lives in bloody combat, or use the fearsome atom bomb in the hopes of convincing the Japanese emperor to surrender. President Truman-in what many have come to regard as an immoral decision-ordered the military to drop the bomb. Now, historian Alex Wellerstein offers a revisionist narrative of what happened in the spring of 1945, uncovering new research that points to a very different chain of events. Wellerstein reveals a much more complex situation in which American leaders, limited by time, knowledge, and authority, and under great secrecy, each jockeyed to influence if and how the bomb would be used. Refuting previous accounts, Wellerstein explains how there was no official decision to use the bomb, nor did President Truman likely know that Hiroshima or Nagasaki were heavily populated cities. Once the bombs were dropped, Truman began a years-long struggle for control of the awesome power of atomic weapons, the ramifications of which are still felt today. The Most Awful Responsibility documents the little-known truth of the circumstances leading to this momentous event, painting a more complete picture of the end of World War II and of Truman himself. It is essential reading for all who want to truly understand not only why the bomb was dropped on Japan, but also why it has not been used since.

"We are at a moment of reckoning as a country, and this bold and ambitious book should be at the center of the conversation on what can be done to make the American Dream more realistic for the many--not just the few. The Middle-Class New Deal will build an army of converts and allies for the policy revolution Dickerson bravely champions."--Dorothy Brown, author of The Whiteness of Wealth: How the Tax System Impoverishes Black Americans--and How We Can Fix It "Mechele Dickerson's book sounds the clarion call for the beleaguered middle class. In unblinking terms, she exposes how working families who once had adequate incomes increasingly must pay for their basic expenses with credit. The stability of those households--and our country--depends on heeding her call."--Patricia A. McCoy, author of Sharing Risk: The Path to Economic Well-Being for All "Powerfully argues that initiatives as bold and comprehensive as the New Deal are the only way to salvage a precarious middle class--and to ensure access for marginalized households historically excluded from gains. A must-read."--Chrystin Ondersma, author of Dignity not Debt: An Abolitionist Approach to Economic Justice "Through multidisciplinary research interspersed with compelling storytelling, Dickerson powerfully shows readers the public investments and policy choices that make--or too often break--the ability of American families to become financially stable and to flourish. In addition to documenting the challenges, The Middle-Class New Deal charts a feasible path forward, offering a menu of plans for policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels."--Melissa B. Jacoby, author of Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal
