Supplement the growing power of our armed forces. In their present form, these bombs are now in production and even more powerful bombs are in development. It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been let loose by those who brought power to the far. East we are now preparing to destroy more completely every preventive enterprise the japanese have in any city. We shall destroy their factories and their communications. Let there be no mistake we shall completely destroyed japans power to make war. It will spare the japanese people from other destruction that the ultimatum of july 26th was issued.

Enjoy American History tv tonight and every weekend. Next, we visit a hiroshima nagasaki atomic bomb exhibit at American University in washington, d. C. This american Artifacts Program was recorded in 2015. Hi, im peter kuznick. Im professor of history at American University and director of the Nuclear Studies institute.

The assumption had been made that if we had built the bomb, if we had the bomb, we would use the bomb in order to bring the war to an end, but i think from the perspective we have now that the atomic bomb, you know, is different, essentially different, from general weapon, that is s
