- Summary:
- The book describes the severe consequences of going after an 'unconditional surrender' during WWII. Instead of intimidating the enemies, it infuriated them, and created an insurgent effect and ill-will that made picking up the pieces after the war all the more difficult. Whether or not Japan actually agreed to an unconditional surrender is contested in this book, precisely because Japanese leaders did not want to completely submit to outside influence after the war in a "Super Versailles" like scenario that would hold back progress indefinitely.
