It has been argued that the US could have detonated a single bomb off the Japanese coast as a demonstration of it's power without the need to drop it on two cities. It's a moot point.
However history is written by the victors so Churchill and Truman are untouchable.
Among older Australians Churchill is a pretty despised figure for reasons we have discussed here before.
