The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945, Vol. 2
''[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'sThe Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Toland's book is fresh and dramatic throughout.The Rising Sunis not only a blood-and-guts action story, it also presents for the first time a great deal of fresh information.'' --Chicago Sun-Times--This text refers to theMP3 CDedition.
