“This lively, provocative study challenges the widely held belief that the Japanese did not intend to invade the Hawaiian Islands.” —Choice “A disquieting book, which shatters several historical illusions that have almost come to be accepted as facts. It will remind historians how complex and ambiguous history really is.” —American Historical Review

It is the summer of 1942 and what our historians have called the Incredible Victory in the Battle of Midway has become a horrendous disaster in this world. Two of Americas handful of carriers in the Pacific have blundered into a Japanese submarine picket line and have been sunk, while a third is destroyed the next day. The United States has only one carrier remaining in the Pacific against nine Japanese, while the ragtag remnants of U.S. battleships _ an armada still reeling from the defeat at Pearl Harbor _ are in even worse shape. Now the Pacific belongs to the Japanese. And it doesnt stop there, as Japan has thrust her sword in to the hilt. Alaska is invaded. Hawaii is under blockade. The Panama Canal is nearly plugged. Worst of all, the West Coast of America is ripe for destruction as bombers of the Empire of the Sun bombard west coast American cities at will. Despite these disasters, the U.S. begins to fight back. Limited counterattacks are made and a grand plan is put forth to lure the Japanese into an ambush that could restore the balance in the Pacific and give the forces of freedom a fighting chance once more.

Using painstaking research and gifted insight, Dr. Kenneth I. Friedman, a talented and meticulous historian and writer, investigates the reasons why Imperial Japan declared war on the US, the British Empire, and other Western powers during World War II. Dr. Friedman's probing and in-depth analysis traces almost a century of US–Japan relations in this epic and stylish quest to provide a comprehensive and easy-to-read analysis offering detailed, historically accurate answers. The book begins with the arrival of American Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853, passes through the Meiji Restoration between 1868–1912, the Russo-Japanese War (ending in 1905 via the treaty signed at Theodore Roosevelt's “Summer White House” at Oyster Bay, Long Island), Japan's entry in World War I that ended with the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the Japanese operational, strategic and tactical push into Northeast and Southeast Asia, and eventually heads through the clouds for the airstrike on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and thus usher in America's entry into a global war waxed rich with global aims. In his third book about World War II, Friedman crafts an historical narrative telling the story of Japan's march to an Armageddon that ended in fire and smoke. His sophisticated analysis captures the intrigues, drama, and geopolitical maneuvering which eventually led Japan to attack the US.The genesis of Dr. Friedman's analysis offers the true story of Japan as a star-crossed nation during its evolution from a country content to stay in its relatively peaceful isolation from the rest of the world to becoming a de facto world power on a collision course with destiny.Dawn of the Rising Sun addresses the Japanese reasons for attacking the Western Powers on December 7, 1941. Almost all of the analysis comes from the Japanese perspective. Various Japanese sources are used and explained to offer a broad cultural background and context. Conversations between Japanese and Western leaders have been based on source material in an effort to augment some of the most dramatic moments in world history. Taking a long-view of the emerging balance of power between Japan and America, Dr. Friedman focuses on the arrival of Perry and Harris in the 1850s, the downfall of the Shogunate rule ending in 1868, Japan making war with and defeating China at the end of the 19th Century, steadily disposing of Czarist Russia, and the awakening of the Japanese colonial spirit to see colonies overseas were the major events that propelled Japan to attacking the Americans. Japan felt she had missed out on her chance for global expansion, and, during the 1920s and 1930s, a militaristic tone permeated Japanese domestic and foreign policy in an effort to safeguard her imperialistic gains on the Asian continent. Cut off from oil by America, Japan believed it had no choice but to attack the Hawaiian Islands and other American, Dutch, and British possessions in the Western Pacific.The path of Japan from feudalism to a modern hyper power with state-of-the art weaponry is brought to life with stunning detail with more than fifty maps, charts, and graphics as well as numerous photographs. World War II drew Japan into an alliance with Nazi Germany and pushed Imperial Japanese forces into India and onto the fringes of Australia. Why did these events happen? Readers will continue turning the pages from one fabulous set of facts and intrigues to the next as Friedman hits yet another home run in his stunning troika of World War II works.

Mario Machi survived one of the most terrible episodes in World War II. UNDER THE RISING SUN is his account of that experience. An Army private, Machi was in Manila when the Japanese attacked the Philippines in December, 1941. With the help of a diary that has miraculously survived, Machi relives the heroic campaign by the abandoned "Bastards of Bataan" to defend the Philippines. Upon surrender, Machi became part of the notorious Bataan Death March, a brutal forced march in which thousands of prisoners died. With telling detail & flashes of humor, UNDER THE RISING SUN describes the Death March, Machi's life during three years of near starvation while a prisoner of the Japanese, his liberation, & finally, many years later, his return to the Philippines. As a result of the help he gave other prisoners, Mario Machi was awarded the Bronze Star. Now he has told his story, & as Harold Stephens states in his introduction, "UNDER THE RISING SUN stands as witness to the values that sustained the author on his terrible journey...& we are all made the richer for it." UNDER THE RISING SUN contains photographs. Available from Wolfenden, P.O. Box 789, Miranda, CA 95553; 707-923-2455.

Here is a sideways look at World War II in the Pacific, which gives an exciting view of how the Japanese could have won. Expert military historians examine what would have happened if, for example if the Japanese had conquered India and knocked Britain out of the Pacific War; More...or if Japanese landings in Australia had severed the strategic link between the US and its Southwest Pacific base. The authors, writing as if these world-changing events had really happened, project realistic possibilities based on the true capabilities and circumstances of the forces involved. Rising Sun Victorious is essential and stimulating reading for anyone interested in how chances of history affected the outcome of World War II. Scenarios include: Pearl Harbor: Irredeemable Defeat, by Frank Shirer; The Coral Sea Runs Purple: The Japanese Codes are Cracked, by James Arnold; Nagumo's Luck: The Japanese Find The US Navy First at Midway, by Rick Lindsey; Australian Conquest, by John H. Gill; Guadalcanal Evacuation, by John Burtt; and Victory Rides the Wind: The Kamikaze Prevents Defeat at Kyushu, by Dennis Giangreco.

Everything you've been taught about the World War II "internment camps" in America is wrong: They were not created primarily because of racism or wartime hysteria They did not target only those of Japanese descent They were not Nazi-style death camps In her latest investigative tour-de-force, New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin sets the historical record straight-and debunks radical ethnic alarmists who distort history to undermine common-sense, national security profiling. The need for this myth-shattering book is vital. President Bush's opponents have attacked every homeland defense policy as tantamount to the "racist" and "unjustified" World War II internment. Bush's own transportation secretary, Norm Mineta, continues to milk his childhood experience at a relocation camp as an excuse to ban profiling at airports. Misguided guilt about the past continues to hamper our ability to prevent future terrorist attacks. In Defense of Internment shows that the detention of enemy aliens, and the mass evacuation and relocation of ethnic Japanese from the West Coast were not the result of irrational hatred or conspiratorial bigotry. This document-packed book highlights the vast amount of intelligence, including top-secret "MAGIC" messages, which revealed the Japanese espionage threat on the West Coast. Malkin also tells the truth about: who resided in enemy alien internment camps (nearly half were of European ancestry) what the West Coast relocation centers were really like (tens of thousands of ethnic Japanese were allowed to leave; hundreds voluntarily chose to move in) why the $1.65 billion federal reparations law for Japanese internees and evacuees was a bipartisan disaster how both Japanese American and Arab/Muslim American leaders have united to undermine America's safety With trademark fearlessness, Malkin adds desperately needed perspective to the ongoing debate about the balance between civil liberties and national security. In Defense of Internment will outrage, enlighten, and radically change the way you view the past-and the present.

Logics of Integration, by Noriaki Hoshino, recounts the history of the relationship between modern Japanese transpacific migration and the formation of two multi-ethnic empires (Japan and the United States), focusing on intellectual discourses about migrants and their descendants. This book adopts a transnational perspective, juxtaposing two multi-ethnic imperial formations, and develops a theoretical analysis of the discourses on mobility and national/territorial integration. Via this innovative approach, Dr. Hoshino reveals the unique role of Japanese migrants and their representation in the complicated power relationships between the two empires in the modern Pacific world.
