About this listen
With an introduction read by Max Hastings. A companion volume to his best-selling Armageddon, Max Hastings' account of the battle for Japan is a masterful military history.
Featuring the most remarkable cast of commanders the world has ever seen, the dramatic battle for Japan of 1944-45 was acted out across the vast stage of Asia: Imphal and Kohima, Leyte Gulf and Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Soviet assault on Manchuria.
In this gripping narrative, Max Hastings weaves together the complex strands of an epic war, exploring the military tactics behind some of the most triumphant and most horrific scenes of the 20th century. The result is a masterpiece that balances the story of command decisions, rivalries, and follies with the experiences of soldiers, sailors, and airmen of all sides as only Max Hastings can.

Where does Nemesis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's up there with the best WW2 audiobooks I've read. It covers events in the East from many angles and viewpoints and leaves one with a powerful impression of the madness and scale of the conflict.Who was your favorite character and why?
The Kamakaze are very interesting indeed.Have you listened to any of Stewart Cameron’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not yet, but his performance is brilliant. I like how he can switch on believable accents, such as Australian, American and Russian.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The last days of the war were particularly disturbing. The Atom Bomb obviously is a culmination of events.Any additional comments?
A masterpiece, deserves multiple listens.Epic & stunning.

The reader is clear, concise and puts effort into his accents, although we may need a chat about his Australian one as a an Australian myself 😀
A brilliant historian in his prime
