In this book, Michel Hérubel deals with the following problems: The clash of two opposing civilizations: traditional Japan and modern American democracy. The development of the bomb; the construction of its vector, the B 29 superfortress, which cost more than the work and industrialization of the projectile; the struggle between supporters and opponents of the atomic bombing... The question of the decision-making role played by Hirohito. Indeed, to safeguard the national unity of Japan, which was very attached to its emperor, indispensable from the American point of view to the balance of post-war global forces, the Allies had imagined making him appear as a "simple-minded", thus relieving him of any responsibility in the conduct of the war. - the mystery surrounding the Americans' warning to the Japanese through leaflets and calls on the Voice of America, which had never been solved. - And finally, Harry Truman's controversial responsibility for dropping the two bombs. - An essential document on a subject that is still contested.

Title : A Series of Unfortunate Events, Volume 2 - The Snake Laboratory - Lemony Snicket - book Summary : Dear Reader, If you're looking for a gentle read, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong book. This story starts off as a bit of a laugh: a whimsical uncle, fascinating reptiles... Alas!

I vowed to recount these tragic events, but you, dear reader, are free to close this volume and choose something funnier. With respect, Lemony Snicket.
