An examination of the American plan to end World War II by invading Japan. The author looks at factors such as beliefs about Japanese forces and projected loss of life in an invasion situation to question whether they justified the use of the atomic bomb.
For many years, scholars and non-scholars have debated the ethics of dropping the atomic bomb, but have rarely studied American plans to invade Japan - the alternative to using the bomb to end World War II. Widely held beliefs about Japanese forces and the projected loss of American lives have been invoked to justify the decision to drop the bomb. This examination argues that the invasion plan, code-named ""Operation Downfall"", has not until now been sufficiently studied to allow such a justification.
