About a month after the explosion, Oppenheimer comes to the White House and he sits down with Truman.
And by this point he’s just wracked with second thoughts.
And he says Mr. President I have these terrible regrets. I feel that I have blood on my hands.
And Truman says: Don’t worry about it. I gave the order. I have blood on my hands.
And they finish the conversation.
Oppenheimer leaves.
And Truman says to his staff I never want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again.
That was veteran television news journalist Chris Wallace… … discussing his book "Countdown 1945: The Extraordinary Story of the Atomic Bomb and the 116 Days That Changed the World."
