    The Smithsonian Channel’s take, The Day the Bomb Dropped, which it shows on Sunday night, also treats the subject as ancient history, but it’s more absorbing because it relies much more on the personal accounts of witnesses.

    The Smithsonian show generally accepts the standard premise that we either had to drop the bomb or face millions of casualties from a land invasion of Japan.
