St. Martin's Press Killing the Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan

Interesting book, I'm Filipino/English so its quite moving to see some of the stories from all sides. I thought Bill would be a lot more gung-ho and pro American but to be fair the book is balanced and tells interesting tales from both sides. I recommend this for everyone but especially those anti-war/anti-nuclear protestors who need to realize the A-bomb drop over Japan was a last option and i'm sure saved many lives on all sides.

Brilliant!! Made the whole story very personal, and continuation in the style of the 'Killing' series. Such a great flow to it, and superb that it also showed the Japanese side, from the Emperor to the PM and the people. Love the link with O'Reilly's Dad having served as well. A fluid writing style that makes a must read book for anyone. An important book. Very few authors bring history to life, but Bill has to be there along with the masters Anthony Beevor, Max Hastings and David Irving.

The best of the killing series so far, close your eyes and your there. Many facts not seen before

Excellent - I learned a lot!

Brilliant. Thank you
