Title: A remarkable book
Review: Just like other Great Powers of the time, Japan has physicists who knew that an atomic bomb could be built and they did divert resources towards their own bomb program, resources which were extremely scarce in wartime Japan.Wilcox does a great job with this book. He explains the scientific aspects of the Japanese program, including their hopes for Thorium and other workings unique to the Japanese. Overall, a great book and one that does not perpetuate the "Japanese as innocent victims" school of history.
