With startling revelations, Tsuyoshi Hasegawa rewrites the standard history of the end of World War II in the Pacific. By fully integrating the three key actors in the story--the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan--Hasegawa for the first time puts the last months of the war into international perspective. From April 1945, when Stalin broke the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact and Harry Truman assumed the presidency, to the final Soviet military actions against Japan, Hasegawa brings to light the real reasons Japan surrendered. From Washington to Moscow to Tokyo and back again, he shows us a high-stakes diplomatic game as Truman and Stalin sought to outmaneuver each other in forcing Japan's surrender; as Stalin dangled mediation offers to Japan while secretly preparing to fight in the Pacific; as Tokyo peace advocates desperately tried to stave off a war party determined to mount a last-ditch defense; and as the Americans struggled to balance their competing interests of ending the war with Japan and preventing the Soviets from expanding into the Pacific. Authoritative and engrossing, Racing the Enemy puts the final days of World War II into a whole new light.

C'est donc une histoire sans héros ni vrais scélérats non plus - juste des hommes. La fin de la guerre du Pacifique fut en dernière analyse un drame humain dont la dynamique fut déterminée par les caractéristiques très humaines des participants : l'ambition, la peur, la vanité, la colère et les préjugés . Ainsi se termine l'ouvrage de Tsuyoshi Hasegawa consacré aux derniers mois d'un conflit qui mit aux prises trois acteurs : les Etats-Unis, l'Union soviétique, souvent négligée par les historiens qui ne lui réservent d'habitude qu'un rôle secondaire, et le Japon. Grâce à ses connaissances linguistiques exceptionnelles et à un examen minutieux des archives américaines, russes et japonaises, Hasegawa déconstruit sans complaisance les mythes accrédités par les histoires "nationales" d'un des épisodes les plus dramatiques du siècle dernier et dénoue un à un les fils de l?intrigue complexe qui aboutit au largage de la bombe atomique sur Hiroshima et à l'entrée en guerre de l'URSS. Pourquoi Truman et Staline refusèrent-ils de transiger sur l?exigence de capitulation sans conditions imposée au Japon ? Pourquoi les Japonais s?accrochèrent-ils si longtemps à l'espoir vain d'une médiation soviétique pour mettre un terme à la guerre ? Pourquoi Hirohito décida-t-il d'imposer sa "décision sacrée" d'arrêter la guerre à son gouvernement et à son armée ? Le Japon aurait-il fini par capituler sans la bombe atomique ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions abordées dans un ouvrage passionnant où Hasegawa réussit le pari d'allier la rigueur de l'historien à un indéniable talent de narrateur.
