Road to surrender: three men and the countdown to the end of World War II

Introduction : The Dilemma --

Part One. Sleepless : "The terrible," "the awful," "the diabolical" --

Target practice : "May [be] Frankenstein or means for World Peace" --

The stomach art : "There are no civilians in Japan" --

The patient progresses : "You judge it; I can't" --

Prompt and utter : "Shall the worst occur" --

A bucket of tar : "What the hell, let's take a chance" --

Part Two. Terrible responsibility : "I had a rather sharp little attack" --

Denial : "Fire every damn flare in the airplane!" --

Sacred decision : "There is life in death" --

Gambits : "The superforts are not flying today" --

Plots : "What are you thinking of?" --

Is Tokyo next? : "This man is tottering" --

To bear the unbearable : "Like a mid-summer's night dream" --

No high ground : "The only way you can make a man trustworthy" --

Epilogue : Reckonings.
