UNIT 1 AMERICAN HIGH: 1945-1962 38848 Issue 1. Was It Necessary to Drop the Atomic Bomb to End World War II? YES: 17536 Robert James Maddox, from American Heritage (May/June 1995) NO: 43238 Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, from Racing the Enemy: Stalin, Truman, and the Surrender of Japan (Harvard University Press, 2005) Professor of American history Robert James Maddox contends that the atomic bomb became the catalyst that forced the hard-liners in the Japanese army to accept the emperor's plea to surrender, thus avoiding a costly, bloody invasion of the Japanese mainland. Professor of American history Tsuyoshi Hasegawa argues that the Soviet entrance into the war played a greater role in causing Japan to surrender than did the dropping of the atomic bombs. 700095 Issue 2. Was President Truman Responsible for the Cold War? YES: 46436 Arnold A. Offner, from " 'Another Such Victory': President Truman, American Foreign Policy, and the Cold War," Diplomatic History (Spring 1999) NO: 23263 John Lewis Gaddis, from We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History (Oxford University Press, 1997) Professor Arnold A. Offner argues that Harry S. Truman was a parochial nationalist whose limited vision of foreign affairs precluded negotiations with the Russians over cold war issues. John Lewis Gaddis argues that after a half century of scholarship, Joseph Stalin was uncompromising and primarily responsible for the cold war. 437810 Issue 3. Did Communism Threaten America's Internal Security after World War II? YES: 25954 John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, from Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America (Yale University Press, 1999) NO: 25955 Richard M. Fried, from Nightmare in Red: The McCarthy Era in Perspective (Oxford University Press, 1990) History professors John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr argue that army code-breakers during World War II's "Venona Project" uncovered a disturbing number of high-ranking U.S. government officials who seriously damaged American interests by passing sensitive information to the Soviet Union. Professor of history Richard M. Fried argues that the early 1950s were a "nightmare in red" during which American citizens had their First and Fifth Amendment rights suspended when a host of national and state investigating committees searched for Communists in government agencies, Hollywood, labor unions, foundations, universities, public schools, and even public libraries. 700096 Issue 4. Should President Truman Have Fired General MacArthur? YES: 25956 John S. Spanier, from "The Politics of the Korean War," in Phil Williams, Donald M. Goldstein, and Henry L. Andrews, Jr., eds., Security in Korea: War, Stalemate, and Negotiation (Westview Press, 1994) NO: 25957 D. Clayton James with Anne Sharp Wells, from Refighting the Last War: Command and Crisis in Korea, 1950-1953 (Free Press, 1993) Professor of political science John S. Spanier argues that General Douglas MacArthur was fired because he publicly disagreed with the Truman administration's "Europe first" policy and its limited war strategy of containing communism in Korea. Biographer D. Clayton James and assistant editor Anne Sharp Wells argue that General Ma

I received the "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark" book on 8 December 2023 early within the original eBay estimated delivery date of 7-12 December 2023 tightly wrapped in a poly mailer slightly different than the listing page description with some damage to the spine and pages of the book. After messaging the seller I was generously refunded 50% of the book price. The book is intact with full content. This seller made extra efforts to make this a satisfactory purchase. Thank You!
