"Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II" by Evan Thomas is a book that provides a narrative of the endgame of the war in the Pacific, focusing on the motivations and decisions of key figures on both the American and Japanese sides. The book explores the perspectives of U.S. Secretary of War Henry J. Stimson, Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, and U.S. Air Force General Carl "Tooey" Spaatz. Thomas argues that the use of the nuclear bombs was necessary to secure Japan's surrender and prevent further bloodshed. While not the most comprehensive treatment of the topic, the book offers a valuable account of the circumstances surrounding the decision to use the bombs. [Extracted from the article]
