50 years ago, Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and brought a reluctant
America into World War II. Armed with fresh materials, which have
become available only in the last decade, Renzi and Roehrs take a
critical look at the decisive Japanese-American episodes in "The
Great Pacific War". Unlike standard histories of World War II,
"Never Look Back" includes the Japanese perspective, bringing to
light challenging facts: in "Operation Flying Elephant" the
Japanese attempted to cause forest fires in the American West by
releasing hydrogen-filled balloons. When Americans of Japanese
ancestry were interned during the conflict, word reached Japan of
their plight and resulted in even greater mistreatment of American
POWs in Japan. It is argued that Japan did not surrender because of
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or because of the
conventional firebombing or because of the US submarine campaign,
but because the USSR entered the war.
