The United States' involvement in World War II began with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. But for Japan, the conflict began at a much earlier date. This book focuses on Japan and the events in its military history leading up to and including Pearl Harbor. Unique in its perspective, A Gathering Darkness shows how historical events in the 1920s and 1930s steered the country into war with America and its allies. A Gathering Darkness looks at what happened inside Japan in the 1920s to change its outlook on the West. There was a general repudiation of western values by Japanese society, and Japan turned its back on the outside world and an international order that were making life difficult for the country. The treaties made in Washington in the 1920s left Japan with a local supremacy that no other power, including Britain and the United States, could challenge on the account of their lack of forward bases and their commitments that precluded full deployment of forces in the western Pacific. A Gathering Darkness shows why Japan became increasingly militant in the 1930s. The authors look at Japanese military involvement in Manchuria beginning in September 1931. They cover the beginning of Japan's involvement in China in 1937, a conflict in which Japan would up in a deadlock with the China theater of operations in the period 1939–1941. The book then analyzes the first five months of the Pacific War, including the Pearl Harbor strike and the synchronization of offensive operations across more than four thousand miles of ocean. It also investigates the dilemma Japan faced as it realized in early 1942 that the United States was not going to collapse. A Gathering Darkness is the first volume in SR Books' trilogy on the Pacific War. This book offers a fascinating look at the prelude to the Pacific War and the early stages of the conflict that no one interested in World War II, military history, or Japanese history will want to miss.

New York Times Bestseller The devastation of Pearl Harbor and the American victory at Midway were prelude to a greater challenge: rolling back the vast Japanese Pacific empire, island by island. This masterful history encompasses the heart of the Pacific War—the period between mid-1942 and mid-1944—when parallel Allied counteroffensives north and south of the equator washed over Japan's far-flung island empire like a "conquering tide," concluding with Japan's irreversible strategic defeat in the Marianas. It was the largest, bloodiest, most costly, most technically innovative and logistically complicated amphibious war in history, and it fostered bitter interservice rivalries, leaving wounds that even victory could not heal. Often overlooked, these are the years and fights that decided the Pacific War. Ian W. Toll's battle scenes—in the air, at sea, and in the jungles—are simply riveting. He also takes the reader into the wartime councils in Washington and Tokyo where politics and strategy often collided, and into the struggle to mobilize wartime production, which was the secret of Allied victory. Brilliantly researched, the narrative is propelled and colored by firsthand accounts—letters, diaries, debriefings, and memoirs—that are the raw material of the telling details, shrewd judgment, and penetrating insight of this magisterial history. This volume—continuing the "marvelously readable dramatic narrative" (San Francisco Chronicle) of Pacific Crucible—marks the second installment of the Pacific War Trilogy, which will stand as the first history of the entire Pacific War to be published in at least twenty-five years.

After the conclusion of the "Great War," the United States looked with growing apprehension at Japan's escalating territorial expansion amid the worldwide political turmoil engendered by the "Great Depression." To obtain secret information on the plans and objectives of a potential Pacific adversary, U.S. Navy intelligence sends Francis Marian, a young sailor with a near-perfect photographic memory and unusual Chinese and Japanese language skills, to the Philippines. Francis is soon drawn into a conflicting, complex world of clandestine negotiations and secret and dangerous missions in China, Japan, and Indo-China. But the United States is not the only world power seeking information on Japan's plans for supremacy in the Pacific. Hitler's Germany, in its embryonic pursuit of world domination, sends Willy Rosin, posing as the international businessman Werner Breidstein, to the Philippines to determine if Japan can be a viable ally or will become only an impediment to German hegemony in the Pacific. Breidstein's mission transforms into a distorted quest for personal power and revenge of his mother's suspicious death when Willy was a young boy in the Philippines. Breidstein leaves a trail of ruthless murder as he and Marian trust and parry across the lands of the Orient, from China to Japan, to Indo-China, to the islands of Micronesia, and to the Philippines, as Japan is inexorably drawn closer and closer to war with the United States. Shinako Fujimori, a young, innocent Japanese woman, is betrayed by an ambitious Japanese naval officer she expected to marry, but finds solace with Breidstein after her father is assassinated. But she will be betrayed by some. Seeking revenge for her father's murder, she unwittingly becomes instrumental in both Francis and Breidstein separately learning that Japan will attack Pearl Harbor within only hours. As the two men clash in the ensuing hours, startling secrets will be revealed.

In this absorbing account of the origins of the Asia-Pacific War, historian John Gripentrog argues that competing ideologies of world order—chiefly the rift between liberal internationalism and Pan-Asian regionalism—lay at the heart of the conflict. Drawing from a rich diversity of primary and secondary sources, the author also examines the Japanese government’s vigorous cultural diplomacy in the U.S., which sought to win over American hearts and minds and soft-pedal its imperialist ambitions in Asia. The result is a book that both challenges and amplifies standard interpretations of US-Japan relations in the interwar era, while weaving diplomatic, political, intellectual, and cultural history. Moreover, the author’s wide-angle lens offers readers insights into a fascinating assemblage of historical actors—from Japanese and American diplomats, politicians, and military leaders, to cosmopolitan art enthusiasts and major league baseball players.
