X-Day: Japan: Front Line Reporting at the Greatest Invasion and the Dawn of Nuclear Warfare
26/06/2015
$4.99
"Engaging, interesting and frighteningly believable. Five Stars." - M. Heminger
"X-Day: Japan is the single best researched alternate history of the aborted invasion of Japan you are going to find." - Trent Telenko, chicagoboyz.netIn November of 1945 over a million fighting men clashed in the greatest amphibious invasion of human history. 400,000 American soldiers and Marines forced their way ashore. They were outnumbered by the Japanese but brought unprecedented firepower.
This Pacific “D-day” was called X-Day. Walter F. Tuttle was there as a front line reporter. This is his account. It is not a parade of military hardware and tactics, nor is it a political thriller. It is the story of fighting men, their field commanders, and the nation which supported them.
Nuclear weapons stood ready to join the battle. No one on the ground knew anything about atom bombs, until the world was turned upside down around them.
A full preview sample of the book, not just the first portion, is available at the project web site, www.xdayjapan.com.
The companion volume X-Day: Gaming Olympic is a detailed illustration of the battle, in maps and photos, with running commentary, www.xdayjapan.com/gaming-olympic.

Set for November, 1945, Operation Olympic was the first half of Operation Downfall, the American plan to invade Japan and seize Tokyo in 1945-46. In support of the journalistic novel X-Day: Japan, Operation Olympic was gamed out over contemporary Army maps. The battle for Kyushu is much larger than previous conflicts over places like Okinawa and Iwo-jima.
In this book the greatest amphibious invasion in history is played out day-by-day. American and Japanese forces meet, fight, and suffer over several months of conflict. Running commentary describes the difficult decisions faced by field commanders on a regular basis, and the impact of each decision on the brutal fighting. Other books have covered the invasion plans, but no modern works are supported by this type of effort.
X-Day: Japan ended with a broad tactical nuclear attack, using the early low-yield weapons available. Impact of such weapons on a large battle front is displayed and evaluated.
[This title contains many figures and photographs which are best viewed on larger color devices.]

Farewell My Legume

$4.17
When the pride of a nation is at stake, the authorities find themselves up against the pride of a hard-nosed soft-tailed diminutive private eye. He may be their only hope, and he may be hopeless.
Millions of dollars worth of maple syrup has come up missing from the world's larget stockpile - the Quebec strategic reserve. Markets would be rattled if the whole story got out, so the mounties call in outside help, from the old oak tree office of a jaded gumpaw.
With women on his tail, and on his last nerve, the new anti-hero for our age finds himself in a stickier situation than anyone had imagined. Dead bodies are a very sticky situation. A thousand miles from home, with strict orders to keep the job secret, this Private Nut will have to do more than crack a tough case - he'll have to stay alive.
