'The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II: A Collection of Primary Sources' documents aim at providing access "to a broad range of U.S. and Japanese documents from the spring and summer of 1945, interested readers can see for themselves the crucial source material that scholars have used to shape narrative accounts of the historical developments and to frame their arguments about the questions that have provoked controversy over the years. To help readers who are less familiar with the debates, commentary on some of the documents will point out, although far from comprehensively, some of the ways in which they have been interpreted. With direct access to the documents, readers may be able to develop their own answers to the questions raised above. The documents may even provoke new questions."

These documents from the National Security Archive can be accessed from: The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II: A Collection of Primary Sources
