Before the bombing of Japan, did the U.S. consider the economic costs to themselves (in the sense that the U.S. knew beforehand that they would be financing and aiding the rebuilding afterwards), the value to and impact of the site's historical structures that would be loss and how it would affect not their own culture but the ours as well, and perhaps the overall U.S. image and world view due to the loss of life from dropping the bomb?

If so then to what extent and how much consideration was given?

Can you recommend a good source for further reading solely on the planning and strategizing process that took place during the target selection?
