I haven't read this book, but hope to in the future. I did notice it has some very favorable reviews on Amazon.com

The book is about the end of the war in the Pacific. There are of course many controversial issues around this period of history, particularly the use of atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and I understand this book offers some perspective on why this decision was made, as well as quite a little of information about the Allied plans for (and the planned Japanese defense to) Operation Olympic.
