MORE ON JAPAN, AND “PEACE THROUGH VICTORY DAY:” Reader Josh Fagan writes:
I read Giangreco’s Hell to Pay recently. I believe it was you who linked to it a while back that made me aware of this book; and what a good book it is. It thoroughly details what it would have taken to invade the jap home islands, and left me wondering whether we could have actually ever forced them to surrender without the additional shock to their regime of using the few atom bombs we had in our arsenal against them.
Maybe give it another plug. This book certainly counters the pervasive anti-American narrative under which we exist.
