Atomic Bomb > President Harry Truman announces the Hiroshima bombing
Announcer: Good evening from the White House in Washington. Ladies and gentlemen
the President of the United States.
Harry S. Truman: My fellow Americans, the British, Chinese and United States
governments have given the Japanese people adequate warning of what is in store for
them. The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a
military base. If Japan does not surrender, bombs will have to be dropped on her war
industries and unfortunately thousands of civilian lives will be lost. I urge Japanese
civilians to leave industrial cities immediately and save themselves from destruction.
