About this title

Synopsis

Though the opening of the atomic age preempted the invasion, Maga (American heritage, Bradley U.) shows how it was planned and approved by US president Truman in June 1945. For too long, he says, historians have considered the plans a mere footnote to the story of the atomic bomb and Japanese surrender. He thinks it deserves military and historical analysis on its own merit. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
