Download Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944 - 45 AudioBook Free
By the summer of 1944 it was clear that Japan's defeat was unavoidable, but how the drive to success would be achieved remained unclear. The ensuing theatre - that ended in Japan's utter devastation - was acted out over the vast theatre of Asia in considerable clashes between army, air, and naval forces. In recounting these extraordinary events, Maximum Hastings draws incisive portraits of MacArthur, Mao, Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, and other key statistics of the war in the East. But he's equally adept in his portrayals of the ordinary soldiers and sailors caught in the bloodiest of campaigns. With its piercing and convincing analysis, Retribution is an excellent telling of epic discord from a expert military historian at the elevation of his power.
