This is an extremely interesting and well-researched overview of the U.S. plans for ending World War II. The Invasion of Japan deserves a wide readership. Skate's judicious account sets to rest many misconceptions regarding the end of the war in the Pacific; it also offers much that is new. Highly recommended. A thorough and penetrating analysis, based on original American and Japanese documents, of the invasion of Japanese home islands that was planned, but never implemented, to end World War II. This is a fascinating book that will be trailblazing and stimulating reading even for the most avid of World War II historians because it's a fresh report.
Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (32)For more than a half century scholars and nonscholars alike have debated the ethics of dropping the atomic bomb, but rarely have they studied the American plan to invade Japan, the alternative to using the bomb to end the Second World War. Widely held beliefs about the strength of Japanese forces and the projected loss of American lives have been invoked to justify the decision to drop the bomb. John Ray Skates, however, argues that the invasion plan, code named Operation Downfall, until now has not been sufficiently studied to allow such a justification. In The Invasion of Japan he remedies that shortcoming and disputes many myths that have grown up around the plan. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
