This Pulitzer Prize–winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, “a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened—muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox.”
In weaving together the historical facts and human drama leading up to and culminating in the war in the Pacific, Toland crafts a riveting and unbiased narrative history. In his Foreword, Toland says that if we are to draw any conclusion from The Rising Sun, it is “that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.”

This magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning history, told primarily
from the Japanese viewpoint, traces the dramatic fortunes of the
Empire of the Sun from the invasion of Manchuria to the dropping of
the atomic bombs, demolishing many myths surrounding this
catastrophic conflict.Why did the dawn attack on Pearl Harbor
occur? Was was inevitable? Was the Emperor a puppet or a warmonger?
And, finally, what inspired the barbaric actions of those who
fought, and who speak here of the unspeakable - murder, cannibalism
and desertion? 'Unbelievably rich ...Readable and exciting'

Rabinowitz's classical global bifurcation theory, which concerns
the study in-the-large of parameter-dependent families of nonlinear
equations, uses topological methods that address the problem of
continuous parameter dependence of solutions by showing that there
are connected sets of solutions of global extent. Even when the
operators are infinitely differentiable in all the variables and
parameters, connectedness here cannot in general be replaced by
path-connectedness. However, in the context of real-analyticity
there is an alternative theory of global bifurcation due to Dancer,
which offers a much stronger notion of parameter dependence.
This book aims to develop from first principles Dancer's global
bifurcation theory for one-parameter families of real-analytic
operators in Banach spaces. It shows that there are globally
defined continuous and locally real-analytic curves of solutions.
In particular, in the real-analytic setting, local analysis can
lead to global consequences--for example, as explained in detail
here, those resulting from bifurcation from a simple eigenvalue.
Included are accounts of analyticity and implicit function theorems
in Banach spaces, classical results from the theory of
finite-dimensional analytic varieties, and the links between these
two and global existence theory.
Laying the foundations for more extensive studies of
real-analyticity in infinite-dimensional problems and illustrating
the theory with examples, " Analytic Theory of Global Bifurcation"
is intended for graduate students and researchers in pure and
applied analysis.
