Active Naval Institute Press “Giangreco . . . synthesizes years of research in a definitive analysis of America's motives for using atomic bombs against Japan in 1945. . . . [An] excellent examination.” —Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review) “Drawing on solid research in both countries, Giangreco lays out the U.
S. planning and the whole scenario of what would maintain happened: millions of casualties, or prolongation of the Pacific War,possibly past 1947, and manpower shortages and war weariness in the United States, and with Japanese militarists and their no-surrender policy in control in Japan. Illustrative of just how much the war with Japan was a close-run thing,this is fundamental reading.” —Library Journal (Starred Review) “...a worthy complement to Richard B. Frank’s classic Downfall: The discontinuance of the Imperial Japanese Empire, will not discontinuance the decades-long debate about the endgame in the pacific, or but its presentation of hard facts and thorough analysis is undeniably compelling.” —World War II Magazine “Giangreco’s updated work is a superb example for future historians . . . as it hits square at the Schwerpunkt [Centre of Gravity – Ed.] of the critics’ arguments,arguments that continue to proliferate virtually unchallenged in mediums such as Netflix, the Internet, and through those who continue to distort history ‘in the service of peace.’ It is an increasingly-unavoidable truth that is inconvenient for some: the atomic bombing of Japan saved millions of lives. And among them would maintain been Canadian lives from the 6th Canadian Division,and RCAF Tiger Force Lancaster crews committed to Operation OLYMPIC.” —Canadian Military Journal “D.
M. Giangreco provides copious evidence that the United States sought Russian entry up to and even after the bombs were dropped.” —History News Network “This is an distinguished work. While it challenges the moralistic issue of the atomic bomb this emotive topic may be gradually fading from contemporary conversation. Of greater weight is the military implications of invasion which are as relevant now as they were 70 plus years ago.” —Australian Naval Institute “With it’s unusual material, Hell to Pay is indispensable for anyone studying the discontinuance of the war in the Pacific.” —Warships: International Fleet Review D.

The updated and expanded edition focuses on the Soviet General Staff’s planning for operations in the Far East following the discontinuance of the war in Europe and addresses the impact of those operations.
