Produktinformasjon
<b>Named one of Foreign Affairs'' Best Books of 2016</b>In his magisterial 1,208 page narrative of the Pacific War, Francis Pike¿s <i>Hirohito¿s War </i>offers an original interpretation, balancing the existing Western-centric view with attention to the Japanese perspective on the conflict. As well as giving a ¿blow-by-blow¿ account of campaigns and battles, Francis Pike offers many challenges to the standard interpretations with regards to the causes of the war; Emperor Hirohito¿s war guilt; the inevitability of US Victory; the abilities of General MacArthur and Admiral Yamamoto; the role of China, Great Britain and Australia; military and naval technology; and the need for the fire-bombing of Japan and the eventual use of the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. <i>Hirohito¿s War</i> is accompanied by additional online resources, including more details on logistics, economics, POWs, submarines and kamikaze, as well as a 1930-1945 timeline and over 200 maps.
