| Abstract | Seeking the reason so much animosity has been generated over President Truman's motives in dropping the atomic bomb on Japan in 1945, Newman (emeritus professor, communication, U. of Pittsburgh) concl...des that the source of discontent is a "cult" which has grown in the US since the 1960s. It was weaned on disillusionment spawned by concerns about a military-industrial complex, American duplicity in the Vietnam War, and a mistrust of government following Watergate. Truman's only motive, Newman argues, was to end the war; he raises questions about the ways historians may select and distort evidence about the past to suit political agendas.
