Victor Davis Hanson: The Atomic Bombs Dropped in Japan Were Not ‘Satanic’

Episode length: 13m

It's August, so we have the annual debate over the dropping of two atomic bombs, one on August 6, the uranium bomb called "Little Boy" that was dropped on the dual-use target, military and industrial Japanese city of Hiroshima, and then three days later on Nagasaki with a plutonium bomb.

“The dropping of the atomic bomb, it was not a satanic enterprise...Good men made a bad weapon to stop far worse men from killing innocents,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
