Over sixty years after the end of the Pacific War, the United
States and Japan have still not come to terms with the
consequences; despite their postwar alliance, memories of Pearl
Harbor and Hiroshima-Nagasaki continue to remind that the decision
to drop the bomb remains a contentious issue. While many Americans
believe the bombing directly influenced Japan's decision to
surrender, the bombing's impact on Japan's decision making, as well
as the role of the Soviet Union, have yet to be fully explored.
This book offers state-of-the-art reinterpretations of the reasons
for Japan's decision to surrender: Which was the critical factor,
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the Soviet Union's
entry into the war? Writing from the perspective of three different
nationalities and drawing on newly available documents from Japan,
the United States, and the former Soviet Union, five distinguished
historians review the evidence and the arguments-and agree to
disagree. The contributors are Barton J. Bernstein, Richard Frank,
Sumio Hatano, Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, and David Holloway.
