The Eagle and the Rising Sun: The Japanese-American War 1941-1943 Pearl Harbor through Guadalcanal Hardcover - 2003

by Schom, Alan.; Alan M. Schom


From the publisher

Alan Schom's histories and biographies have been celebrated for their iconoclastic approach and a dramatic focus on extraordinary personalities meeting at the crossroads of history. In this magisterial history of World War II in the Pacific, he shows how the conflict was in neither the United States's nor Japan's best interest. On one hand, the American government and people were as inadequately prepared for war as any major power has ever been; on the other hand, Schom's close reading of Japanese military and political documents reveal that their supreme command knew they could not possibly win.

First line

Admiral Sir Charles Madden, commander of the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet, looked on as the order to "DRESS SHIP" was given and as dozens of flags broke out over his flagship, the battleship Queen Elizabeth, and Royal Oak.
