Finished: Hiroshima Nagasaki by Paul Ham
Enjoyed this book. It was well written & very well researched. I think it gave an even account from both sides of the war - allies & axis, in terms of events or non events that led not only to the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, but what in the end was the final bell tolling which caused the surrender of Japan. As someone who has been interested in this specific point in history for neary 2 decades, I found this account eye opening & it did have me questioning what we have been and even to this day are fed by the press. Highly recommend this to history buffs. 5 stars!

Started: Hiroshima Nagasaki by Paul Ham.
Just getting into it. A pretty hefty tome which is based on the authour's research into the events and subsequent results of the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima & Nagasaki at the end of WW2. Just reading the preceding information which includes some interesting insights into the life & times of Japanese during the later years of WW2 as well as well as brief history of the two cities and commentaries of the greater war and the events that lead to the bombings.
