{"product_id":"1945-a-novel-1","title":"1945: A Novel","description":"America has dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.\nBut Japan has only begun to fight. . . .\n\nIn 1945, history has reached a turning point. A terrible new weapon has been unleashed. Japan has no choice but to surrender. But instead, the unthinkable occurs. With their nation burned and shattered, Japanese fanatics set in motion a horrifying endgame–their aim: to take America down with them.\n\nIn Robert Conroy’s brilliantly imagined epic tale of World War II, Emperor Hirohito’s capitulation is hijacked by extremists and a weary United States is forced to invade Japan as a last step in a war that has already cost so many lives. As the Japanese lash out with tactics that no one has ever faced before–from POWs used as human shields to a rain of kamikaze attacks that take out the highest-value target in the Pacific command–the invasion’s success is suddenly in doubt. As America’s streets erupt in rioting, history will turn on the acts of a few key players from the fiery front lines to the halls of Washington to the shadowy realm of espionage, while a mortally wounded enemy becomes the greatest danger of all.\n\nPraise for Robert Conroy’s 1901\n\n“Likely to please both military history and alternative history buffs . . . The writing . . . keeps us turning the pages.”\n–Booklist\n\n“Fascinating . . . skillfully crafted.”\n–Oakland Press\n\n“Packed with action.”\n–Detroit News\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0345494792\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0345494792.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Conroy, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
