... While listening to CRI on 9650 at 1300 for some Olympic coverage I was
reminded
that today, August 9, marks the 63rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of
Nagasaki which finally brought WWII to a close. (Hiroshima was bombed on
Aug. 6,
1945.)

destruction, so one would only imagine the self denial they are in.

it invaded japan.
Just finished reading James Michners " tales of The South Pacific"

Early on, they describe Japanese broadcasts joyously describing the
planned invasion and subsequent enslavement of New Zealand and how
this will benefit Imperial japan.

In the later chapters, an Invasion is described, in minute by minute
detail.
with the horrific casualties the Americans suffered.

Its quite a book. Well worth reading.
