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.”]]> 3187882 3.91 486 75 1970 3 0 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Jan 13 13:12:02 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 13:17:08 -0800 2009 more...]]>
