Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire

By: Richard B. Frank
Paperback
496 Pages

Downfall is an analysis of the last months of the Pacific War and the unfolding of the American air campaign over Japan. The story opens with a searing description of the fire-bombing of Tokyo in March 1945, which caused more deaths than the atom bomb in Hiroshima.

Within five months, Japan's economy was collapsing and the country faced catastrophic starvation. "Downfall" recounts the end of the war and documents one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II.
