Title: Racing the Enemy Condition: New Subtitle: Stalin, Truman, and the Surrender of Japan Author: Tsuyoshi Hasegawa Translator: Ilya Nahmanson Contributor: Ilya Nahmanson (Translated by) Format: Hardback EAN: 9781644697689 ISBN: 9781644697689 Publisher: Academic Studies Press Genre: Law & Politics Topic: Military History, History Release Date: 05/04/2022 Description: From April 1945, when Stalin broke the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact and Harry Truman assumed the presidency, to the final Soviet military actions against Japan, Hasegawa brings to light the real reasons Japan surrendered. From Washington to Moscow to Tokyo and back again, he shows us a high-stakes diplomatic game as Truman and Stalin sought to outmaneuver each other in forcing Japan’s surrender; as Stalin dangled mediation offers to Japan while secretly preparing to fight in the Pacific; as Tokyo peace advocates desperately tried to stave off a war party determined to mount a last-ditch defense; and as the Americans struggled to balance their competing interests of ending the war with Japan and preventing the Soviets from expanding into the Pacific.
