A thorough and penetrating analysis, based on original American and
Japanese documents, of the invasion of Japanese home islands that
was planned, but never implemented, to end World War II.-- "Salem
Press"
The Invasion of Japan deserves a wide readership. Skates's
judicious account sets to rest many misconceptions regarding the
end of the war in the Pacific; it also offers much that is new.
Highly recommended.-- "American Neptune"
This is a fascinating book that will be trailblazing and
stimulating reading even for the most avid of World War II
historians because it's a fresh report.-- "Richmond
Times-Dispatch"
This is an extremely interesting and well-researched overview of
the U.S. plans for ending World War II.-- "The Annals of the
American Academy of Political and Social Science"
