Description

Racing the Enemy: Stalin, Truman, and the Surrender of Japan by Tsuyoshi Hasegawa offers a fresh perspective on the final months of World War II in the Pacific. By integrating the key actors - the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan - Hasegawa sheds new light on the events that led to Japan's surrender. The author reveals the complex diplomatic game played out between Truman and Stalin as they sought to force Japan's surrender, while also exploring the internal struggles within Tokyo's government. This authoritative and engrossing account brings a new level of understanding to the end of World War II. With its unique international perspective, Racing the Enemy provides a compelling insight into one of history's most pivotal moments.
