Abstract: "Since the end of World War II, assessments of Imperial Japan's military capability have indicated that the country was years away from building an atomic weapon. This A&E Special shatters that view, offering evidence that Japan had world-class nuclear physicists, access to uranium ore, cyclotrons to process it into a bomb, and submarines capable of carrying and launching airplanes to deliver it. The sobering conclusion is that Japan may have been just weeks behind the U.S. in the race for the bomb. Distributed by A&E Television Networks. (45 minutes)©2005"--Container label.
