Third Atomic Bomb Attack - Japan 1945

If Japan did not surrender on 15 August 1945, a third atomic bombing was planned. In this programme we examine how Japan’s surrender was a complicated and difficult process involving a military coup and how America was reluctantly faced with potentially using the third bomb - but which city was to be targeted? And would it have ended the war?
