Extremely understandable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have read extensively on WW2 always being a history buff. I found this novel offering good perspective on both sides but mainly to explain the feelings of the people involved. Those that must do the killing and live with the memories forever. I enjoyed War and Remembrance and Winds of War by Wouk. I think Mr. Toland has a very different approach that has made this historical event extremely understandable. I will plan on reading more of his writings.
inspired view of the war in the Pacific
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Toland tells the story of the war in the Pacific from the point of view of Japan - or at least an American family born in Japan and sympathetic, yet fighting. Several threads of action are followed through all the major land battles in the Pacific with characters fighting on both sides. I have read Rising Sun. This is a novel. It is a great way to experience the history of WWII. I want to buy the next one, Occupation.
