About this product

Product Information

" The Rising Sun ] is quite possibly the most readable, yet informative account of the Pacific war."-- Chicago Sun-Times This 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

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Partial history.

    Events leading up to and including world war II, told largely from the Japanese perspective. Loses points for the author's personal bias that so much was the fault of racism on the part of American's. American racism didn't make the Japanese torture and kill their captives.

    Great value for the money!

    This is the paperback version of the two volume hardback set. The quality of the book is great, and it contains everything that the two volume set contains. It is a very good look at the war in the Pacific from the Japanese standpoint. I highly recommend this book.
