[Genoa]

Yes, the big lie is that Japan was close to losing the war. Poppycock, of course. The Japanese were resolved to fight tooth and nail to defend the home islands against an invasion. Casualties would have been enormous on both sides. The shock of Hiroshima and Nagasaki produced the surrender. And even then, many of the wartime leaders in Japan were dead set against any surrender. The emperor himself had to intervene and tell them to give up. By the way, for an excellent account, I recommend The Fall of Japan by William Craig.
