When the Shooting Stopped: August 1945

By Barrett Tillman

Book Overview

Rumors wafted on global winds throughout the first half of August 1945: Tokyo was on the brink of surrendering; Tokyo was sure to fight to the bitter end. Contrary to popular perception, the war did not conclude with the dropping of two nuclear bombs. On the very day that the second atomic bomb began its ominous descent over the city of Nagasaki, a Soviet juggernaut was steamrolling into Japanese-occupied Manchuria as part of Operation August Storm - a campaign that continued until the third week of August and cost tens of thousands of lives. Nor was there peace at sea or in the skies. WHEN THE SHOOTING STOPPED reveals the bloody truth of that final month when neither war nor peace were certain.
