by John Toland
Review
“[It] is quite possibly the most readable, yet informative account of the Pacific war.” — Chicago Sun-Times
“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
“Similar in scope to William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich . Toland's book is fresh and dramatic throughout. The Rising Sun is not only a blood-and-guts action story, it also presents for the first time a great deal of fresh information.” — Chicago Sun-Times
