«Némesis: La derrota del Japón, 1944-1945» is a historical essay by Max Hastings, published by Editorial Crítica in hardback (768 pages, in Spanish).
Max Hastings argues that there were two distinct world wars: the European and the Asian-Pacific, the latter with more than thirty million dead. The book focuses on that forgotten front: Burma, China, the invasion of Manchuria, naval battles, prisoner-of-war camps, the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and the firebombing of Japan.
Part of the Memoria Crítica collection (volume 1). The original English title is 'Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-45'.
Aimed at readers interested in military history and the Second World War, especially the Pacific front.
