have put pressure on Japan to surrender with minimal loss of life
o Scientist did not have the experience or the knowledge of
particle physics to demonstrate the atomic bomb before actually

o Frisch states that writing about the historical significance of the
atomic bomb is best explained by retrospectively acknowledging
