Here is a nice list of primary documents regarding the dropping of the bomb. I haven't really had a chance to look through all of these, but if you look through them and find some particularly interesting or informative, let me know.
One interesting thing was the scanned copy of the leaflet that was dropped on Japan warning them that the US possesses "the most destructive explosive." It is printed in English, not Japanese. Most of the leaflets dropped by the Japanese were in English and Japanese.

I guess they wanted to say they warned them and still have an excuse to eliminate their enemies-sorta like Jonah (Old Testament)!
