Description

Hasegawa rewrites the history of the end of World War II in the Pacific by integrating the key actors in the story—the US, the USSR, and Japan. From April 1945, when Stalin broke the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact and Truman assumed the presidency, to the final Soviet military actions against Japan, he reveals the real reasons Japan surrendered.
