Praise for Ronald H. Spector
In the Ruins of Empire: The Japanese Surrender and the Battle for Postwar Asia
"Good historical writing--and Ronald Spector is an excellent writer--ought first to help us see the past more clearly.... With In the Ruins of Empire, an unruly, hopelessly complicated Asia comes alive.... Spector's book is not only about the past and the present. He also enables us to imagine the future."
-- Richard J. Samuels, New York Times Book Review
Eagle Against the Sun: The American War with Japan
"Spector has done the impossible and done it with dazzling brilliance. Mining a warehouse of material with absolute control, he has produced a superbly readable, insightful, gripping, unbiased one-volume history of the American-Japanese war that is at the same time a glorious celebration of the American spirit."
-- Clay Blair, Washington Post
"The best one-volume history of that complex conflict.... No future book on the Pacific war will be written without paying due tribute to Eagle Against the Sun."
-- Drew Middleton, New York Times
