An enjoyable audiobook. I was surprised by the preface on the audio version which referred to Obama, Obama's pastor and the Iran nuclear deal - this seemed like an overly simplistic parting shot almost. The footnote comparison of Dwight Eisenhower being a Democrat while Douglas MacArthur was Republican is an over simplification that does no justice to either general. The way in which women's' figures such as that of Lauren Bacall are described is a touch chauvinistic but unsurprising given what has come to light about the author. The massive blow that the Soviets struck against 700,000 Japanese troops in Manchuria is underplayed, so too is the significance of the requirement for total surrender that prolonged the conflict. It was surprising to see that the author considers MacArthur's record unblemished after the surrender at Bataan and his flight to Australia. The book is more of collection of ripping tales and individual insights than a traditional history volume. The accounts of heroism, horror, and chaos are compelling. A good read that could have been great.
Great book! I learned so much about this time in our American history I did not know before. It has given me a new appreciation for our heroic men and women in uniform who endured unimaginable horror to fight the war in the Asian-Pacific Theater. Equally horrific was the account of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. May we hope to never see such carnage of nuclear fission again launched against humanity. The book gave fresh insight to behind the scenes inter-personal relationships between key leaders in the war. A "must-read" for any history buff.
Once again O'Reilley and Martin Dugard have teamed up to present our history in an exciting, fast-paced, personality driven way. Here they tell the story of bringing the second war world in Asia to the earliest possible conclusion. We follow a line from the quiet day in 1939 when FDR approved funding for a new research project, to those fateful days in August 1945 when the Japanese came to understand the power of the atom.As is usually the case with the Killing books, there is no new information here. It is just told in a way that we can better understand. Harry Truman makes a rapid evolution from piano playing out of the loop new VP to world leader who had no regrets about using atomic bombs to end the war without engaging MacArthur in house to house fighting amid suicide attacks. MacArthur starts to sense that his huge status with the American soldier and people does not translate to much with a plain spoken Missourian who is no fan of big egos in the military. We see Hirohito as a prisoner in his own palace but not an innocent or unwilling participant in launching this terrible war. MacArthur and other old Japan hands insisted on keeping the emperor in place, today we can wonder if that was best but it sure did provide many years of stability.
One of the greatest historical accounts of the last WWII days, written in an impeccable style which instantly captivates the reader. I look forward to reading all of Mr. O'Reilly's historical essays. As a man born not long after those days, I remember many of the events as though I also lived them. My thesis adviser for the doctorate in chemistry worked directly for Mr. Oppenheimer, and used to tell me many memories of his days in Chicago during the Manhattan Project. All of Mr. Reilly's words in describing the development leadership that gave our Country the ability to separate out large quantities of the U-235 fissionable isotope are accurate to what my beloved, late Professor told me personally. He was the man who had discovered the key process for the fissionable, lighter U-235 separation from the much more prevalent, heavy U-238. I am currently reading Mr. Reilly's account about Abraham Lincoln with equal fascination.
O’Reilly and Dugard pen an engaging novel about the end of World War II in the Pacific with “Killing the Rising Sun.†The Japanese are resilient, courageous, and willing to fight to their last breath to win World War II. However, in the early months of 1945, it becomes apparent that the Japanese cannot win the war. Determined, they will defend every bit of land they possess.  Under orders from FDR, the Americans strive to build the atomic bomb. Known as “The Manhattan Project,†this devastating weapon might be the only leverage to get Japan to agree to unconditional surrender.  O’Reilly and Dugard’s writing style is easy to read. They relate the personal stories of not only the major players including FDR, Truman, and Douglas McArthur, but also the soldiers who fought for freedom. Historical facts, long forgotten, will surprise the reader. The title, “Killing the Rising Sun,†is symbolic in that Japan as a country, known as the ‘rising sun’ had to be defeated in order to be reborn again as the nation it is today. O’Reilly and Dugard deliver another fascinating read in their “killing†series. The facts will keep readers turning the pages. Engaging, engrossing, and suspenseful, this one “killing†that will resonate long after it’s finished.Â
I’ve read several books on the war in the pacific and was expecting this one to be like the others; a chronicle of that war. I was very pleasantly surprised that the book was more directed at how the US really won the war. As bad as the decision to drop “the bomb†seemed when viewed from our time perspective, Bill puts the reader in the period and circumstances of that decision. In truth, it became apparent that as bad as the bomb was, I can’t say that it was any worst than the fire bombing the US had to do to so many other Japanese cities. The book helps to make one understand that, in fact, the use of this terrible weapon probably saved the life’s of many US troops as well as many Japanese people. Thanks Bill for your podcast as well as your books. Killing England is next on my list. Oh, by the way, although I received the hardcover copy for becoming a premium member, I now do all my reading on my Kindle and/or my Kindle app on my iPad. So, I purchased the kindle version, and it was great. All of the footnotes and images were excellent.
