>and of course dropping two atom bombs and killing a couple hundred civilians in one of the worst atrocities of the worst war in history just to show who's boss.

Is the book saying that:

a) two atom bombs were not dropped,

b) that they didn't kill a couple hundred civilians,

c) that it wasn't one of the worst atrocities in WWII,

d) that WWII was not one of the worst wars in history, or

e) that it didn't show how's boss?

or all of the above? To be honest I can't see any of the points above discussed in the summary of the book on Amazon. Explain?
