The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and the Architecture of an American Myth is a book by Gar Alperovitz which criticizes the U.S. decision to end the war with Japan by using atomic bombs.[1]

The argument assumes with no evidence that Japan would have quickly surrendered. It ignores the American and Russian war plans that would have left millions of Japanese dead.

Alonzo Hamby of Ohio University calls the book "a lawyer's brief, repetitively citing evidence that supports its position, ignoring anything that does not."[1]

Skates, John Ray. Invasion of Japan: Alternative to the Bomb (2000) provides a thorough refutation. ISBN 0-679-44331-2
