Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 276 pages. Corners of the dust jacket nicked. One or more pages turned back at the corner. Blue markings on underside of page ends possibly indicating that this is a remainder copy. This is a carefully studied and meticulously documented revisionist review of the que…stion of the use of the atomic bomb against Japan. From the dust jacket: "Among other revisionist findings, his research reveals a weaker state of Japanese preparedness than historians have commonly presumed and he demonstrates that the joint chiefs never objectively compared the bombing and the invasion. Significantly, Skates finds no evidence suggesting that military strategists projected casualty figures as high as those cited after the bomb's use. Rather than attributing the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the supposed shortcomings of the invasion plan, Skates contends that the Allied policy of unconditional surrender was at the heart of the decision to drop the atomic bomb.".

Condition: very good, very good. Second Printing. 276, maps, chapter notes, bibliography, index, DJ in plastic sleeve. While scholars and non-scholars alike have debated the ethics of dropping the atomic bomb for more than half a century, rarely have they questioned the decision not to invade Japan as a means of ending World War… II. Widely held beliefs about the strengths of Japanese forces and the projected loss of American lives have justified the course of action taken by the United States. This book studies the invasion plan "Operation Downfall" in deeper detail. Beginning with a brief overview of Downfall, the author analyzes the evolution of the invasion plan, describes the two phases of the plan, assesses the strength of Japanese defenses, and discusses other topics that would influence an invasion--redeployment from Europe, Allied participation in the invasion, and the possible use of special weapons, especially gas.
