The Heritage of Japanese Civilization
Currently commuting alone by car I have the opportunity to listen to audio books. And I like it, it adds another layer to the story. And "The Ultimate Battle: Okinawa 1945--The Last Epic Struggle of World War II is" is splendidly narrated by Robertson Dean
I like the way the author switches from personal stories from Army, Navy and Marine veterans to the overall picture to the history of more specific areas like night fighters and the origin of the idea of kamikaze attacks.
In the end, President Truman, chose to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, based on extrapolated numbers of dead and wounded as high as 500.000 to one million Americans and allies.
The decision is still widely disputed. I, for one, am grateful that I was the not one who had to decide
The history of the battle is gruesome and impossible to comprehend. However, still, the book is one of my all time favorites
