“The winds of change were never warm.”

This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

This version is free, because truth should be.

Do you think Truman’s decision to nuke Japan was justified? Why or why not? Curious to know how others see this.

Nothing could ever justify using nuclear weapons on living beings. Hope this isn't controversial around here.
