Truman even
attributed Stalin's lack of response to the news of the A-bomb test to
his failure to grasp the significance of the event.

What history books are you reading? Truman never briefed Stalin on the
results.
He briefed Churchill, but never told Stalin a thing.

Actually Truman told Stalin at Potsdam we had the bomb. Stalin's reply was he
hoped we would use it wisely. He already knew about the bomb through spies in
the Manhattan Project.
