Описание: The heart-pounding war-room drama within the military cabinets of the United States and Japan leading to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima--the strategy sessions, fierce debates, suicidal arrogance, looming assassination, abandoned plans, and sheer desperation that resulted in Armageddon on August 6, 1945 Historian David Dean Barrett puts readers inside the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo during the desperate final months of World War II. America's strategic bombing campaign systematically incinerated Japan's cities while the leaders of the Pacific's two military giants waged a war of strategy, cultural differences, and diplomatic intransigence. The military brain trust of the United States called for "unconditional surrender." Japan's senior leaders responded with a plan of all-out military and civilian resistance termed Ketsu-Go, or "The Decisive Battle." What Emperor Hirohito and his Supreme Council at the Direction of War seemed unable to grasp was the Americans' development of a catastrophic ace-in-the-hole. As US leaders weighed a two-phase invasion of the Japanese mainland that would have been twice as large as D-Day and astronomical in casualty count, a nuclear clock was ticking--America was arming itself with the ultimate weapon. Within the war-room debates, two men--one Japanese, Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo; and one American, President Harry S. Truman--assumed leading roles. Togo risked assassination in his struggle to convince his dysfunctional government, dominated by militarists and determined to fight the decisive battle on Japanese soil, to save his country from annihilation. In Washington, an untested President Truman inherited the mandate of unconditional surrender, the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War, the plans for the invasion of the Japanese Homeland, and the development of the most terrible weapon the world has ever seen. Even when Japan's "Big Six" heard from the US that failing to surrender under America's terms would result in "a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth," why did they not lay down their arms? The answer lies in 140 Days to Hiroshima and the book's nearly day-by-day account of the struggle to terminate a conflict when the positions of enemy leaders from different cultures seemed intractable.

Описание: "Deeply researched and carefully nuanced . . . Barrett shrewdly integrates essential military realities with the potent domestic cross currents affecting leaders on both sides of the Pacific." --Richard B. Frank, author of Downfall Here are the secret strategy sessions, fierce debates, looming assassinations, and planned invasions that resulted in history's first use of nuclear weapons in combat, and the ensuing chaos as the Japanese government struggled to respond to the reality of nuclear war. As World War II neared its end and America's strategic bombing campaign incin¬erated Japan's cities, two military giants locked in a death embrace of cultural differ¬ences and diplomatic intransigence. United States leaders called for the "unconditional surrender" of the Japanese Empire while weighing an invasion, Downfall, that would have dwarfed D-Day. Their enemy responded with a last-ditch plan: Ketsu-Go, calling for the suicidal resistance of every able-bodied citizen in "The Decisive Battle" for the homeland. But had Emperor Hirohito's generals miscalculated how far the Americans had come in developing the atomic bomb, history's deadliest weapon? How close did President Harry Truman come to ordering the invasion of Japan? Within the Japanese Supreme Council at the Direction of War, a.k.a. "The Big Six," Foreign Minister Shigenori Tōgō risked assassination to save his country from annihila¬tion. But the Big Six remained defiant. They refused to surrender even after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How did Japanese leaders come to this impasse? The answers lie in this nearly day-by-day account of the struggle to end the most destructive conflict in history. "Reads like a Tom Clancy thriller . . . a gripping, day-by-day account." -- Flint Whitlock, editor of WWII Quarterly magazine and coauthor of The Depths of Courage
