Victory in Japan Day on August 15, 1945 officially marked the end of World War II, but in fact conflict continued throughout the month. This history details the true final weeks of the war.

Despite the Allied grand strategy of "Germany first," after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. especially was committed to confronting Tokyo as a matter of urgent priority.

But from Oahu to Tokyo was a long, sanguinary slog, averaging an advance of just three miles per day. The U.S. human toll paid on that road reached some 108,000 battle deaths. But by the summer of 1945 on both the American homefront and on the frontline there was hope. The stunning announcements of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 seemed sure to force Tokyo over the tipping point. In fact, most of the Japanese cabinet refused to surrender and vicious dogfights still raged in the skies above Japan.

This fascinating history tells the story of the final weeks of the war, detailing the last brutal battles on air, land and sea with first-hand accounts from pilots and sailors caught up in these extraordinary events. Barrett Tillman expertly details the first weeks of a tenuous peace and the drawing of Cold War battle lines as Soviet forces concluded their invasion of Manchuria. When the Shooting Stopped draws on accounts from all sides to relive the days when the war finally ended and the world was forever changed.

They're okay-ish. Not suitable for a lot of liquid.
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
I use these for my opossums. They work okay-ish, but I continue to use them for the quantity and price. They're not very large animals. Make sure you are changing them out after a single pee. These really can not handle a lot of liquid. My girls both refused litter training, and so puppy pads are my only option. If your animal has large pees, I do not recommend these because it will not be able to absorb it all, and you're gonna have a mess! Thats the word I have been looking for. They can't absorb a large amount of liquid.

GOOD PRODUCT AND PRICE
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
The puppy pee pads are very well made at a good price. I purchased the same size pads with the same count from a competitor of Amazon, and they were more expensive, much thinner and when I tried to unfold them, some would stick together and the pads would rip.

Great for the price
Size: Regular, Style: 50 Count
These puppy pads are actually pretty good for the price I wasn’t expecting anything amazing but they do the job the absorbency is decent and it dries fast enough where my dog isn’t tracking mess everywhere the leak proof backing works most of the time and I haven’t had any major issues with it soaking through I also feel like the attractant helped a little with training because my dog started using them pretty quickly Only thing is if your dog pees a lot or goes near the edge it can leak a little and they are kind of thin compared to more expensive brands plus they slide around since there’s nothing on the bottom to hold them in place Overall I’d still buy them again they’re a good budget option especially for puppies or smaller dogs
