A dramatised interview with the late President Truman, the only politician-so far - who has faced up to, and made, the decision to use the bomb.
The President, played by actor William Windom , is interviewed in the 'Oval Office of the White House' - two days after Hiroshima, on the eve of the bombing of Nagasaki.
Interviewer DENNIS TUOHY asks the President' about the strategic, political and moral reckonings which went into the decision to drop the first bomb-and why, faced with aerial photographic evidence of the damage caused, the President stuck to his original decision to drop the second.
The ' President's' answers are based upon his own words and writings about what is, arguably, the most far-reaching decision of the century.
