The Pequod Review:

Thank God for the Atom Bomb is an odds-and-ends follow-up collection to The Boy Scout Handbook, and includes essays on subjects as diverse as nude beaches, George Orwell, gun control, and the Indy 500. It also features the more earnest title piece which defends Truman’s decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
