Re: Using the Bomb to force Japan to surrender.

I read a few years back that US intelligence had reports that the
Japanese cabinet was fairly evenly split over the question of
surrender, and that given a few more days, they might very well have
done so, without using the bomb.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
