Defeating Japan in 1945

By Norman Reynolds

By sunset at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, over 90% all over America resolved going into Tokyo and giving them payback for their ambushed bombing. People were barely 30 years from Wild West days, and a lot of cowboy was still in American men, especially servicemen and those enduring the Great Depression. The biggest misconception Americans had was the Pacific is over twice as big as the Atlantic, and fighting the Japanese military was not going to be as crossing the English Channel to combat Germans.How was the American military going to get into Tokyo with the fast expanding Japanese conquests in the Pacific? Strategists and planners looked for any opportunity to gain a possible link for them to envision some paths to force unconditional surrender on a nation that does not believe in surrender, nor anything unconditional.In mid-1944 the American military had destroyed outlying Japanese forces and pushed them back to near their Home Islands by island-hopping and engaging the enemy for specifically needed gains. Three endeavors began materializing Japan's defeat, or in combination with one another. This book is about those three strategic missions and which one would throw the knockout punch at Japan.Readers are provided the who, what, when, where, how, and why the American and Japanese military and their governments committed on what they did to end WW II with a victory. These historical facts are no longer taught in our high schools and universities...educators today proclaim "WW II is insignificant".The most monumental anything in the 20th Century has now become insignificant? This book is written for high schoolers to military historians and enthusiasts, especially those being homeschooled. Know the WW II history before unknowingly having to repeat it.
