Dreylad posted:Never saw this, but I really did enjoy Sleepwalkers. The guy did an absolute bucketload of research across a whole bunch of different languages which is pretty drat impressive. its in catastrophe: 1914. he spends the entire book subtweeting sleepwalkers while blaming everything on germany

iirc texaco literally arranged for one of their own oil tankers to be hijacked by the nationalists because the republicans had purchased its oil

the war faction wanted to fight to the end in the hope of getting a settlement from the bloodbath taking the home islands would be. the war conference before/during Nagasaki but after the soviet invasion shows that Amani et al, psychopaths that they were, still wanted to continue the war. the decision was only made by invoking hirohito’s will and his statements on why he choose to surrender focus on the bombs and the army sucking rear end. my conclusion is that the Soviet invasion finally forced the peace faction to out maneuver the war faction politically as a negotiated settlement was no longer possible, and the bombs and general failures of the military weighed most heavily on Hirohito.

I believe the Stalin was necessary take focuses on him being the only possible soviet leader that would have industrialized the union to the point needed for the war.

full disclosure: this request comes from a paper i'm working on does anyone know of situations involving sources similar to fuchida, midway, and shattered sword? looking specifically for cases where bad historical sources are used due to language barriers. its for a historical methodologies paper about the risks of easily available sources in a language other than what they were written in.
