On August 6th, 1945, the world changed forever when the United States dropped an Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. This new and terrible weapon led to the end of WWII and began the nuclear arms race that defined the Cold War. Eighty years later, people still ask if the use of such a destructive force was justified. Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War, answers this critical question. ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?
