The Trial of Harry S. Truman by Michael Murphy, Weymouth High School Scenario: “The year is 1946, and the world’s most destructive war is finally over. Millions of people all over the world are dead, land is devastated, and the economics of many nations are ruined. Even though the war has officially ended, the suffering continues in Japan due to the dropping of two Atomic bombs. None of the scientists foresaw the effects that radiation would have on the people and the land. The initial killing of over 90,000 people in Hiroshima and 75,000 people in Nagasaki is only the start. Thousands of people are dying monthly and there are no cures and very little treatment available. Even though people around the world are grateful the war is over, many start to look at Truman’s decision to drop one or both of the bombs on the Japanese.”

The Trial of Harry S. Truman by Michael Murphy, Weymouth High School “ …For the sake of time, Truman has already been impeached and the trial is now being held in the Senate with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding. The sole crime Truman is being tried for is “Crimes Against Humanity,” the same crimes levied against the Nazi war criminals.

The Trial of Harry S. Truman Truman on Trial: The Prosecution, Opening Argument By Philip Nobile Mr. Nobile is the author of Intellectual Skywriting: Literary Politics and the New York Review of Books and editor of Judgement at the Smithsonian, which reprinted the banned script of the Smithsonian's 50th anniversary exhibit of the Enola Gay. "The laws of war do not apply only to the suspected criminals of vanquished nations. There is no moral or legal basis for immunizing victorious nations from scrutiny. The laws of war are not a one-way street." Telford Taylor, The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials
