The military, including General Eisenhower, opposed the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagaski. That's what Joseph Gerson, president of the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security, claims to be the consensus among US historians. He also tells us that "in the months prior to the US’s atomic bombings, the Japanese government attempted to surrender on terms the US ultimately accepted after the atomic bombings: unconditional surrender with the exception of the emperor remaining on his throne".
