It has been almost two weeks since a book on the history of North Japan by the famed historian N.L. Gingrich debuted in the bookstores. I was just wondering if it is recommended reading. And if so, is it a subjective instead of a biased account on the rise and fall of the People's Republic of Japan?
I heard that the book has an alternate history chapter that describes the atomic bombs falling on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to Emperor Hirohito's radio address of Japan's unconditional surrender, the peace treaty ending the war and Japan's transformation to a democratic constitutional monarchy with no Communist North Japan.
