America has dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But Japan has only begun to fight . . . .
In 1945, history has reached a turning point. A terrible new weapon has been unleashed. Japan has no choice but to surrender. But instead, the unthinkable occurs. With their nation burned and shattered, Japanese fanatics set in motion a horrifying endgame - their aim: to take America down with them.
In Robert Conroy's brilliantly imagined epic tale of World War II, Emperor Hirohito's capitulation is hijacked by extremists and a weary United States is forced to invade Japan as a last step in a war that has already cost so many lives. As the Japanese lash out with tactics that no one has ever faced before - from POWs used as human shields to a rain of kamikaze attacks that take out the highest-value target in the Pacific command - the invasion's success is suddenly in doubt. As America's streets erupt in rioting, history will turn on the acts of a few key players from the fiery front lines to the halls of Washington to the shadowy realm of espionage, while a mortally wounded enemy becomes the greatest danger of all.

Narration was okay but some mispronunciation and misuse of military acronyms were distracting. Still it was enjoyable and I would recommend.

Realistic Alternate History

During my senior year of high school I had to write a four page essay on whether or not the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II were justified, why or why not?
I wish I would’ve read this book then. Yes, I understand that it is purely an alternate history and historical fiction to boot. The author clearly has done their research in terms of the determination that both sides would’ve shown during the last days of the war. Between the Japanese fanaticism and the US is heavy-handed use of both the atomic bomb and fire bombing in general of the Japanese islands. It is little wonder that Japan wouldn’t have been turned into a radioactive island.
While there is some overabundance on the Japanese secret police frequently using torture in somewhat graphic detail. It was overall a great read in terms of an alternate what could have been story.
A dark vision of what could’ve been!
