From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gutsy Girl comes this provocative, compelling novel of irrevocable consequences for people thrust unwittingly into a devastating war of nations and American identity—based on a little-known true event. December 1941. The inhabitants of Niihau lead a simple life. Mostly Hawaiian natives, they work the ranch of Niihau's eccentric haole owner, who keeps his island totally isolated from the outside world, devoid of cars, phones, and electricity. But then a plane crash-lands there, and although the villagers rescue the pilot, they have no idea that he has just attacked Pearl Harbor. War has now come to Eden, slowly undoing its tranquillity, widening the cracks in the already troubled marriage of Irene and Yoshio Harada, the island's only Japanese-American couple. It will test everyone's loyalties and all they believe in . . . as Paradise, once within reach, slowly falls victim to its own isolated innocence.

On the eve of the Japanese landing in Lingayen Gulf, 2/Lt. Douglas MacQueen, 4th Regiment USMC was at Darmortis, a small coastal town on the north shore of the Gulf. His was there to observe the action and report to his Commanding Offi cer, Col. Howard. The Marines, as branch of the Navy, were getting little information from the Army. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander of American and Filipino Forces, went so far asto declare the “...4th Marines untrained for combat...” 2/Lt. McQueen witnessed the subsequent collapse of MacArthur’s Grand Beach Defense Strategy; MGen. Jonathan ‘Skinny’ Wainwright’s magnificent leadership in the orderly retreat and delay action from the Gulf to Bataan that enabled Southern Force to reach the peninsula before the bridges were demolished; the abandonment of most of the supplies originally intended for Bataan that had been moved to advanced locations in the Gulf at MacArthur’s direction but without any contingency arrangements for their removal as such anticipation, according to the General, was defeatism. MacQueen was determined to survive and hoped to rejoin his wife in Australia.

In 1941, Japan sent the code phrase to its fleet: East wind rain. The result was the deadly sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Now, Japan sends out the signal: East wind storm. This time, Japan's target is the world. With little warning, the United States initiates an across-the-board economic embargo against Japan. The reasons behind the move are secondary to the horrifying consequences. Suddenly history is repeating itself, just like 1940 when President Roosevelt closed trade with Japan, Tokyo finds itself on the brink of economic disaster, with only one way out-war. But this time Japan has learned that there are many more ways that it can use to fight back. And this time it is going to use them all. The result is an astonishing campaign of economic, political, and military action against not just the United States, but Russia, China, South Korea, Taiwan-and anyone else who dares stand in its way. Suddenly, the United States's interdiction fleet is at the bottom of the sea, an anti-Communist revolution rocks China, Russian troops are slaughtered . . . and the world is faced with nuclear armageddon-with Japan ready to push the first button. Three men-the president's National Security Advisor, a satellite photo analyst, and an American Nisei CIA officer-find themselves at the forefront of an impossible mission, end World War III before it goes nuclear.

The classic coming-of-age novel about a young Chinese woman torn between Eastern and Western cultures by the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Good Earth. Kwei-lan is a traditional Chinese girl—taught by her mother to submit in all things, “as a flower submits to sun and rain alike.” Her marriage was arranged before she was born. As she approaches her wedding day, she’s surprised by one aspect of her anticipated life: Her husband-to-be has been educated abroad and follows many Western ideas that Kwei-lan was raised to reject. When circumstances push the couple out of the family home, Kwei-lan finds her assumptions about tradition and modernity tested even further. East Wind: West Wind is a sensitive, early exploration of the cross-cultural themes that went on to become a hallmark of Buck’s acclaimed novels. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.
