Why read it?
1 author picked Road to Surrender as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am a history buff but I have not read that many books about the Pacific theater in WWII.
Thomas examines the final months of the war through the eyes of three of its most important participants: American Secretary of War, Henry Stimson; Head of U.S. Strategic Bombing in the Pacific, General Carl Spaatz; and Japan's War Minister and member of the Japanese War Council, Shigenori Togo.
Road to Surrender is well-written, deeply researched and just plain exciting. It also addresses one of the most interesting questions of the 20th century: Should America have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan?
