This review is from: World War Two: U.S. Military Plans for the Invasion of Japan (Top Secret (New Century)) (Paperback)

This is a good source of information about what the US really planned for the invasion of Japan. But there is one document missing - the report of the interrogation of the Japanese Second Army officials who were actually responsible for defending Japan which shows what they actually had available on Kyushu (which was less than most historians have advocated.) Bear in mind that all of these documents as well as dozens of others are available on the Internet and can be downloaded for free.
