Editorial Reviews

"Using the official 101-volume Japanese-language history of World War II, which has never before been mined by Western historians, Hoyt has compiled a brilliantly accurate history of the war from the Japanese standpoint" was how LJ's reviewer praised this 1986 volume. Juxtaposing the histories of both Japan and the United States from 1853 to the 1950s, Hoyt concludes that the Pacific war was an inevitable clash. "Huge in scope, superbly researched, and eminently readable, this is essential for World War II collections." (LJ 3/15/86) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
