U.S. president Harry S Truman gave the order after much deliberation to drop the atom bomb on the Japanese industrial city of Hiroshima, in order to spare the United States the agony of losing over a million men (according to generals' estimates) in a land invasion of the island nation. The decision is still a controversial one, even as it may have been justified from a military point of view, since the United States remains the only country to use nuclear weapons against another, and of course the devastating collateral damage that ensued.
