To many Americans, Mississippi means Natchez and Vicksburg, white
columns and cotton. For the people who have lived there, however,
Mississippi has been a decidedly different place. Depending on who
you were, and where and when you lived, Mississippi could be a much
worse or far better place than that portrayed by its romantic
image.
For many years, scholars and non-scholars have debated the ethics
of dropping the atomic bomb, but have rarely studied American plans
to invade Japan - the alternative to using the bomb to end World
War II. Widely held beliefs about Japanese forces and the projected
loss of American lives have been invoked to justify the decision to
drop the bomb. This examination argues that the invasion plan,
code-named ""Operation Downfall"", has not until now been
sufficiently studied to allow such a justification.
