Publisher's Summary:
Killing the Rising Sun relates episodes from the Pacific theater of World War II, including the controversial US decision to develop and utilize atomic weapons. Fueled by confidence in their racial superiority, the Japanese exerted great effort to expand their empire throughout East Asia. Once Prime Minister Hideki Tojo convinced Emperor Hirohito to attack Pearl Harbor, war with the United States and the other Allied forces was inevitable. Although Japan had agreed to previous Geneva Conventions, they violated those agreements throughout their war effort. From their pre-World War II invasion of China until after the emperor agreed to surrender, Japanese soldiers committed unspeakable acts, including rape, murder, mutilation of corpses, and enslavement of civilians.
The apparent determination of the Japanese emperor to fight an Allied land invasion to the death further escalated the dilemma within the Roosevelt and Truman administrations over whether to use the recently invented atomic bomb.

The War in the Padific
Killing the Rising Sun by Bill OâReilly and Martin Dugard looks at the Pacific Theater during World War II, from the Japanese campaign to expand its sphere of influence, the decision to attack the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor, and the controversial U.S. decision to use atomic bombs against Japan.
Summary, Analysis & Review of Bill Oâ Reilly and Martin Dugardâs Killing the Rising Sun by Instaread is an in depth look at the book, with a discussion of the main themes and brief summaries of some of the key personalities involved in the Pacific Theater. The role played by General Douglas McArthur in getting the Japanese to surrender, and the lack of consensus of American military leaders on use of the A-bomb are emphasized. The key themes of the book are discussed in detail, and give a slightly different view of the rules of war. There is also some discussion of U.S. military actions during and after World War II.
This brief book can be read in less than 15 minutes, but it will give you a fairly good idea of the content and worth of the book being reviewed.
The complicated relationship between East and West
"Killing the Rising Sun" relates episodes from the Pacific theater of WWII including the controversial US decision to develop and utilize atomic weapons. Fortunately for the East and the West, the atomic bombing wasn't the end of the story, but rather a new beginning.
But this isn't Bill O'Reilly's book, this is a summary of it. Instaread distils the most important elements out of this World War II anthology into a quick and simple read. Instead of trudging through a history textbook, you can glean the highlights and move on with your busy life. This is a great review, it includes 10 key takeaways from "Killing the Rising Sun" as well as insight into what they mean. This additional commentary on the major points of O'Reilly's book makes Instaread better than the rest. I highly recommend this summary!
Well-written summary of an excellent book
This is a wonderful summary of Bill O'Reilly's Killing the Rising Sun. This is the newest title in his 'Killing' series. I've read several of his titles and know they are well written and highly informative.
