The many factors that led to Japan's participation in World War II,
and the horrifying battles that resulted, come into focus in
Japan's War: The Great Pacific Conflict. The book, which takes into
account Japanese and Asian documents and scholarship in addition to
American and European sources, chronicles events in the Pacific
from 1853 to 1951. During those years, the leaders of Japan,
believing in the superiority of their nation and culture, sought to
dominate East Asia and the Pacific Basin. That period also saw
Japan and America becoming entangled in each other's national
affairs, starting when Commodore Perry's ships ended Japan's
isolation policy, and continuing into the occupation by the U. S.
Army following the war. Author Hoyt shows conflicting personalities
and historical context that led to the rise of Japanese militarism
and wars with China and Russia. Japan's War examines the decisions
that led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the escalating climate
of violence that resulted in the Rape of Nanking and the Bataan
Death March.
