One would think Japan would be adamant about how they were willing to surrender but US bombed them anyways but they have been strangely silent on the issue.
Japan wasn't willing to surrender. Eisenhower was not involved in diplomatic talks. He was working on his unfounded belief that Japan was willing to surrender. Had he got his way his actions could have resulted in even more lives loss. Of course then we would have an annual thread calling Eisenhower a monster on the anniversary of the invasion each year.
