and the war ended after hiroshima. hiroshima took somewhere 80,000 to 100,000 lives, one weapon. probably another 50,000 or 60,000 died in the aftereffects of injury in the next several months. so it may be said that perhaps as many as 160,000 people died in that horrible moment. and more, of course, additional numbers died at hiroshima. this sounds cold and it sounds impersonal. and i do not mean it this way. but it is a reality of looking at these figures and the decision in the context of the time. if you look at world war ii, which i have spent a lot of time studying, and all you look at are the number of people killed or the casualties, you would have to conclude -- that is all the evidence you had, the numbers -- you would have to conclude that world war ii was a titanic, incredibly destructive conflict between russia and germany. with some peripheral warfare going on elsewhere in the world. the number of russian deaths was something between 10 million and 11 million people. the number of german deaths almost entirely military, was between 4 million and 5 million. somewhere
