In my first site, http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/10/the-real-reason-america-used-nuclear-weapons-against-japan-to-contain-russian-ambitions.html , talks about why the United States dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is prevalent in my book when Hiroshi and Kenji dig fallout shelters and the endless air raid sirens. This website is in the Japanese favor stating the theory that the United States did not bomb Japan to end the war, contrary to the long held belief. This blog states "Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated." They side with the Japanese and plan to get the word out through the blog.
In my second site, http://www.stripes.com/military-life/japan-take-a-rare-look-into-abandoned-wwii-site-1.182140, talks more about air raids and about military life which is described in the book. Kenji is worried when his sensei mysteriously takes off and is worried the war caught up to him because those who go never return. This particular one is a naval bombing in Japan. This site sides with Japan and stands that Americans were harsh with some bombings.
