America has dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.,But Japan has only begun to fight. . . .,In 1945, history has reached a turning point. A terrible new weapon has been unleashed. Japan has no choice but to surrender. But instead, the unthinkable occurs. With their nation burned and shattered, Japanese fanatics set in motion a horrifying endgameâ€“their aim: to take America down with them.,In Robert Conroyâ€™s brilliantly imagined epic tale of World War II, Emperor Hirohitoâ€™s capitulation is hijacked by extremists and a weary United States is forced to invade Japan as a last step in a war that has already cost so many lives. As the Japanese lash out with tactics that no one has ever faced beforeâ€“from POWs used as human shields to a rain of kamikaze attacks that take out the highest-value target in the Pacific commandâ€“the invasionâ€™s success is suddenly in doubt. As Americaâ€™s streets erupt in rioting, history will turn on the acts of a few key players from the fiery front lines to the halls of Washington to the shadowy realm of espionage, while a mortally wounded enemy becomes the greatest danger of all.,Praise for Robert Conroy's ,1901,"Likely to please both military history and alternative history buffs . . .
