I originally bought this for my father, who is a WW2 history buff. At his insistence, I read Jenkins' book. It gives a great account of the occupation of Japan. I particularly liked the thoughtful and informative information on the Manhattan Project and Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs. The eventual $20 billion price tag for the Manhattan Project is absolutely mind blowing. This definitely made me want to read more about the POW's in Japan and the internment camps.
