Newman, Robert P.. Truman and the Hiroshima Cult . East Lansing, Michigan State University Press, 1995.
The author depicts those who maintain that the A-bombing on Hiroshima was intended to intimidate the Russians or a decision made through racism as Asians “cultists.” He argues that Truman made a military decision to end World War II as quickly as possible with few casualties as possible. 原爆投下はロシアに脅威を与えるため、またはアジア人への人種差別のためだったとするグループを筆者はカルト集団と呼び、トルーマンの決定は第2次大戦を早期終結し、犠牲者を最小にとどめるための軍事的決定だったと主張する。
