“They Will Yield”

This chapter begins its narration of events toward the end of July, as it attempts to explain the context in which President Truman was considering the implications of America’s entry into the atomic age. They needed a solution. The chapter looks at Truman’s journal entries of that time as a way to analyze what was going through his mind. He had some complicated issues to deal with and difficult decisions to make. The chapter charts events surrounding the Potsdam Declaration and looks at for Japan’s response to it. The urgency with which the Allies approached planning for a sudden end to the war was in marked contrast to the desultory fashion in which the Japanese sought an alternative to unconditional surrender.
