Martin S. Quigley | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Based on docuements recently declassified by the United States and Japan, Martin S. Quigley, formerly O.S.S. agent under O.S.S. Director General William J. Donovan, recounts the true story of a plan for peace that succeeded in opening communications with Tokyo in the spring of 1945. With the help of a Vatican diplomat, a Japanese priest, and the Japanese ambassador to the Holy See, talks were initiated. Plans were sidetracked and peace was not achieved until after the atomic bomings of Hiroshima and Nagaski in August 1945. Packed with drama and suspense of a spy novel,Peace Without Hiroshima opens an unknown chapter of World War II diplomatic and intelligence history.
