Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This story about a littleknown failed military excursion by the Japanese will appeal to general history readers as well as military history buffs.John Rodzvilla, Library JournalNear the end of World War II, in an attempt to attack the United States mainland, Japan launched its fugo campaign, deploying thousands of highaltitude hydrogen balloons armed with incendiary and highexplosive bombs designed to follow the westerly winds of the upper atmosphere and drift to the west coast of North America. After reaching the mainland, these fugo, the Japanese hoped, would terrorize American citizens and ignite devastating forest fires across the western states, ultimately causing the United States to divert wartime resources to deal with the domestic crisis. While the fugo offensive proved to be a complete tactical failure, six Americans lost their lives when a discovered balloon exploded.Ross Coen provides a fascinating look into the obscure history of the fugo campaign, from the Japanese schoolgirls who manufactured the balloons by hand to the generals in the U.S. War Department who developed defense procedures. The book delves into panic, propaganda, and media censorship in wartime.Fugo is a compelling story of a littleknown episode in our national history that unfolded virtually unseen.
