The original version was titled Japan Subdued and was published in 1961. After receiving important information, Herbert Feis revised his book in 1966 and titling it, The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II.

That is what separates his first edition from his second. His purpose was to show his audience the events leading to the end of the war and diplomatic arrangements in the east Asia.
