Widely held beliefs about the strength of Japanese forces and the projected loss of American lives have been invoked to justify the decision to drop the bomb. John Ray Skates, however, argues that the invasion plan, code named Operation Downfall, until now has not been sufficiently studied to allow such a justification. In The Invasion of Japan he remedies that shortcoming and disputes many myths that have grown up around the plan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51326760911136,"sku":"NEW1570033544","price":25.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61H-_wsk5yL.jpg?v=1773162061","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-invasion-of-japan-alternative-to-the-bomb-1570033544","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
