Review: Killing the Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan

Killing the Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan Killing the Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan by Bill O'Reilly
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is another, serviceable history cash-in from the O'Reilly camp. This time, many of the profusion of maps feels like real filler in the island-hopping march to an atomic defeat of Japan. We have so much on WWII already, I wish more explored was thee personal angle here touched on of O'Reilly's father's shipboard service and a chance to go back home & raise a Fox anchor. Possibly a future afforded by the A-bomb as one of the allied servicemen whose life was saved.
