The powerful and riveting new audiobook in the multimillion-selling Getting rid of series by Invoice O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. Autumn 1944. World Battle II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American troops face an challenger who'll go to any duration to avoid defeat. The Japanese army practices the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a kind of dishonor. Getting rid of the Rising Sunshine requires listeners to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima also to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Throughout the world in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists are preparing to test the deadliest tool recognized to mankind. In Washington, DC, FDR dies in office, and Harry Truman ascends to the presidency and then face the most crucial political decision in history: whether to utilize that tool. And in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito, who's considered a deity by his subject matter, refuses to surrender despite a massive and mounting fatality toll. Told in the same pause-resistant style of Getting rid of Lincoln, Getting rid of Kennedy, Getting rid of Jesus, Getting rid of Patton, and Getting rid of Reagan, this epic saga details the final moments of World Battle II like nothing you've seen prior.
