Imho Truman cant be given enough praise for resisting to "push the button".

On one hand you had living Legend MacArthur telling him to use nukes, on the other hand Truman already had used them. I am not american so i cant comment on how much the american notion of being "invincible/unconquered" added to this pressure to win the war by the seemingly only way to do so. Imho it would have been easier for Truman to switch to nuclear warfare than not.
