What. This is a very telling account of what could have happened if the Allies had pressed on to invade Japan. Invade......massive casualties....tactical/battlefield atom bomb (that does not induce surrender)...(what is NOT said: presumably massive dismay at the body count back home)....so then blockade, mass starvation (3m) ....and then surrender 3 years later. Huge toll of lives; massive trillion dollar scale loss of treasure.
How. The raw content may sometimes seem monotonous, but that is what war is like. The people at the front mostly unaware of the geopolitics obtaining, but that is what war is like. My advice is to read no more than 10% of the book per day. . . .this is, after all, a diary.
Why. We've often been told that horrific Hiroshima & Nagasaki were the best way to end the war and propel the next generations to peace and happiness. This book's message certainly bends one to that view.
