“[The Rising Sun] is quite possibly the most readable, yet informative account of the Pacific war.”—Chicago Sun-TimesThis Pulitzer Prize–winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, “a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened—muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox.” In weaving together the historical facts and human drama leading up to and culminating in the war in the Pacific, Toland crafts a riveting and unbiased narrative history. In his Foreword, Toland says that if we are to draw any conclusion from The Rising Sun, it is “that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.”“Unbelievably rich . . . readable and exciting . . .The best parts of [Toland’s] book are not the battle scenes but the intimate view he gives of the highest reaches of Tokyo politics.”—Newsweek

This is the most balanced and informative analysis of Hirohito's Japan and the Pacific War that I have ever read. I see that about 80% of the customer reviews are positive (four or five stars). The handful of negative reviews seem to reflect the attitude that all of Japan's leaders were war criminals, that America did nothing to provoke the war, that Japan offered no reasonable concessions to try to avoid the war, that only Japanese forces committed war crimes, and that Japan had to be nuked to end the war without an invasion, but the facts do not support such a view.Toland does not hesitate to criticize the Japanese when he feels the evidence warrants it. His book is by no means some kind of partisan apology for Japan, and I don't know how any objective person could read the book and say otherwise. What Toland does do is provide often-ignored facts and context regarding Japan's actions in Manchuria, China, and Indochina; Japan's substantial peace overtures to FDR to try to avoid war (all of which FDR rejected); the conduct of Japanese and Allied forces during the war; Japan's relations with the Asian countries that it wrested from Allied control; and the events that did--and did not--lead to Japan's surrender.
