There were a few other options that Truman could have used instead of the destructive force that is the atom bomb. The US troops had been island hopping and were ready to begin an invasion. The con of this plan would be the heavy loss of American soldiers and that is probably the main factor as to why Truman didn't use it. Another option would be to negotiate with the Japanese and maybe come to an agreement. This was also pushed out because of the fact that the Japanese were ruthless fighters and would not go down easily in any battle. The option that would have been the best in my opinion would be to gain the help of the Soviet Union. On August 8, 1945, a day before the second atomic bomb was dropped, the Soviet's declared war on Japan which is believed to be the reason why they unconditionally surrendered. This plan would have taken less lives and done less damage to Japan and therefore would have been the better idea.
