Hiroshima/Nagasaki Bombing Alternative Brought Alive on 70th Anniversary by New Novel

GREENVILLE, S.C. - June 28, 2015 - PRLog -- In the years after World War Two, many have said, "We should not have nuked cities." A thoughtful few have asked, "What if we didn't?" Sparing Hiroshima and Nagasaki would note a) end the war, or b) make the bombs go away. Any discussion of the end of World War Two must seriously consider the aftermath of any changed decision.

Through a reporter's eyes, X-Day: Japan sets the scene across the tremendous WW2 Pacific war effort. Then, "it charges through sixty days of brutal fighting and devastation," before, "the last big gamble of the war," according to author Shawn D. Mahaney.

The detailed account will appeal to most military and history buffs. But as an alternative history it is especially timely to the nuclear weapons debate.
