The Battle of Okinawa: The Bloody Fight That Changed History

The Battle of Okinawa was the last and bloodiest fight of the Pacific War between the United States and Japan. This brutal clash, fought on Japan's doorstep, cost the lives of over 100,000 Okinawan civilians and thousands of soldiers on both sides. The horrors of this battle convinced President Harry S. Truman that invading Japan's main islands would lead to even more destruction, which ultimately led to the decision to drop the atomic bombs.

In The Battle of Okinawa, you'll uncover the key events and hard choices that shaped the final days of World War II. This audiobook dives into the courage and sacrifice of those who fought, the devastating kamikaze attacks, and the toll the battle took on civilians.
