Also worthwhile is "Five Myths about Nuclear Weapons" http://www.amazon.com/Five-Myths-About-Nuclear-Weapons/dp/05...

A very well-researched book that challenges, adequately in my opinion, some of the fundamental assumptions about nuclear weapons. First and foremost, that "the atomic bombs ended the war with Japan".

It helps to understand that the bombs weren't aimed at Japan, in an abstract sense. They were aimed at Russia.
