In Road to Surrender, bestselling historian Evan Thomas delivers a gripping account of the final days of World War II and the intense decision-making that led to Japan’s surrender.

McCloy—Thomas explores the agonizing choices, moral conflicts, and geopolitical stakes behind the deployment of the atomic bomb.
Deeply researched and written with compelling narrative flair, this 432-page book offers a timely and powerful meditation on the human costs of war and the burden of leadership. A must-read for students of history, military strategy, and ethics in wartime.
