Abstract: This project aims to present a comprehensive study of the existing historiography on the American use of the atomic bombs against Japan in August of 1945. By analyzing the development of the historiography, this work traces the controversial debate over the employment of the bombs. Though not an exhaustive study of the historiography, this project analyzes a multitude of arguments is an effort to better understand the debate. After reviewing the literature of the debate, this work concludes with a brief explanation of my own interpretation of the bombs' employment.
