"Racing the Enemy"

In "Racing the Enemy", Hasegawa puts forward the revisionist view that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not decisive in the Pacific Theater of World War Two. Instead, Hasegawa looks to the breaking of the Neutrality Pact by the Soviet Union, and the imminent fall of Manchuria and Korea to Operation August Storm. [ cite web
