"SIX MONTH IN 1945", written by Michael Dobbs
The author is born in 50.
The journalist, in the U.S.

The coulisse of the discussion which travels in the processing after the war
World War II ends and is 68 this year.
VE Day (VJ Day with toward Japan victory profit on August 15th in case of the United Kingdom, too, ) who celebrates an anti- German victory profit in Europe is a story in the distant past.
Also, the East European various countries which were pushed into the rear of " the iron curtain ", too, were gradually released from the fetter in USSR by the collapse of Berlin Wall in 1989.
However, as for the Northern Territories in our country, the end of the war processing hasn't ended yet, being clear.
The " this manual makes keen " for 6 months " from Yalta Conference in February, 45 by 3 leaders at the U.S., in England and USSR which discusses the surrender of Germany of doing World War II terminal, the old enemy and Japan and international order after the war to Potsdam Conference in July - in August closely.

How did these both talks discuss toward Japan fight including the atomic bombing?
In the Yalta Conference period question, Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin has a confidential talk with Roosevelt and USSR declares war on Japan within 2, 3 months from the German yielding but proposes that the interest of USSR recovers on South Sakhalin, and in the occupation of the Chishima Islands, China and Manchuria (present China northeast area) and so on to the reward.

The entry into the war of the Soviet militaries is understood to save life of 200,000 U.S. soldiers by the agreeing readily by the president who decided on the spot.
It is “the Yalta making a secret agreement ".

Actually, in this Great War, the USSR soldier number of the martyrs is about 8,000,000.
It adjusted a U.S. soldier and a when-I and it was disproportionate to 800,000, the wrong number of digit.

Is it possible to accomplish and the Yalta declaration, too, became iridescent with the hard line of Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin.
After that, April, Roosevelt dies.
The experiment success of “the arms of the miracle " is told during Potsdam conference in July and new president Truman of the do-nothing and policy lacking decides atomic bombing to Japan on July 24th.
It met 2 Potsdam Declaration days before.
It was to realize Japan's surrender with the atom bomb before the Soviet militaries advanced.
It assumed that the atom bomb is the decisive diplomatic arms to leave predominantly by the negotiation with USSR in addition to the arms on the military affairs.
In other words, the first atomic bombing of the human race was used as the implement of the anti- USSR strategy.
The motive which goaded these both talks is “the person win which took the one of a stranger of the thing. at it its one " and a this manual is judging. 
Because it was this, the lesson of World War II which is the maximum tragedy of the human race wasn't utilized at all.
The pointing-out of this manual is heavy actually.
