Description

In 1945, history reaches a turning point as America drops atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But Japan has only begun to fight. A new threat emerges when Japanese fanatics hijack Emperor Hirohito's surrender, setting in motion a horrifying endgame: taking down the United States with them. As the US invades Japan, tactics become increasingly desperate - from using POWs as human shields to kamikaze attacks on high-value targets. The invasion's success is suddenly in doubt. Meanwhile, America's streets erupt in rioting, and the line between enemy and ally becomes blurred. A gripping tale of World War II unfolds, weaving together key players from the front lines, Washington, and the shadowy realm of espionage. With its vivid portrayal of war's brutal consequences, 1945 is a compelling read that keeps you turning the pages.
