Summary: States how close we came to atomic destruction
Comment: Although personally I believe that they are never any real winners in wars. The winning side may suffer economic problems after and deal with the repercussions of what they did to win, the losing side may get economic sanctions placed on them that will cause suffering, or be looked at as a evil and terrible race. This book does states accurately using declassified WW2 documents how close the Japanese came to bombing us first. My dad told me that they were a day or two from mastering the A bomb, when we did it first, and well he was right. In this book the author interviews a japanese woman whose dad was a scientist on the Atomic Project is obviously upset that he was digging up history because she said to him:
"Whay are you trying to do this anyways? So the americans are justified in thier decision?"
He states back (rather surprised):
"Its that theres information out there to be learned and I wish to know."
Im paraphrasing from my memory when I read this book from a library so its prolly not entirely word for word, its a definite read for anyone who is interested in the "hidden" history of WW2.

Summary: Japans Quest for the Atomic Bomb, Hidden History
Comment: Bob Wilcox has done an excellent job of telling the story of Japan's quest for the atomic bomb and has provided credible background and references to substantiate it. His account of Japan's progress towards atomic weapon development is consistent with processes that would be logical and recognizable by anyone familiar with the principles of modern day atomic weapons. I have also discussed the contents of Bob's book with my father, who served as an officer in Korea in the early 50's. He remembers Hangnam, which is cited in Bob's book as one of Japans most important atomic bomb development point and having been captured by Russia, as a secret North Korean missile complex. This is consistent with the book's content. A must read book by those who seek the truth and wish to dispell the guilt complex that the anti-nuclear crowd wishes to impose upon America for bombing Hiroshmia and Nagasaki.
