This week Seth, Bill and amigo Jon Parshall take a deep dive into Japan's decision to surrender and all the intrigue that goes with it. You probably think that after the atomic bomb on Nagasaki Japan just threw in the towel and it was over right? Wrong. It was NOT that easy--no way. You will not want to miss this absolutely fascinating episode as the guys go over the ins and outs of the internal deliberations going on within the Japanese government from August 9 through August 14, 1945 including Japanese proposals to continue the war, a coup d`état, assassinations, political intrigue---like an episode of a daytime soap opera, but with potentially tragic results. Check this one out. You will not be disappointed.
