Truth of Nagasaki Format: Trade Paperback

The U.S. military reported after the fact that "On August 9, 1945, the initial target of the nuclear attack was Kokura, but clouds over the target made it impossible to visually sight the target, so we were forced to drop a nuclear bomb on a second target, Nagasaki.” Most Japanese people believe this story. In particular, the citizens of Kokura, who having "luckily survived" did not spare any effort to cooperate with the U.S. military when the Korean War five years later. This book establishes that this after-the-fact report was false strategic information. It is hoped that this it will help to increase momentum for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
