Описание:

Hiroshima Immigrants in Canada, 1891-1941 is a fascinating investigation of Japanese migration to Canada prior to the Second World War. It makes Japanese-language scholarship on the subject available for the first time, and also draws on interviews, diaries, community histories, biographies, and the author’s own family history.

Starting with the history of the feudal fiefs of Aki and Bingo, which were merged into Hiroshima prefecture, Ayukawa describes the political, economic, and social circumstances that precipitated emigration between 1891 and 1941. She then examines the lives and experiences of those migrants who settled in western Canada. Interviews with three generations of community members, as well as with those who never emigrated, supplement research on immigrant labour, the central role of women, and the challenges Canadian-born children faced as they navigated life between two cultures.

This book is a must-read for scholars of migrations, diaspora, and transnationalism, and will also be of great interest to general readers who wish to learn more about the lives and experiences of Japanese Canadians.

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.
