Product Description
Review
In this installment to the series entitled Total War: New Perspectives on World War II, edited by Michael A. Barnhart and H.P. Willmott, the latter has teamed up with Haruo Tohmatsu to produce a concise account of the events that led to the outbreak of war in the Pacific against the Allies in late 1941. -- Alexander, Jeff Pacific Affairs Tohmatsu and Willmott see the coming of the Pacific War as an ever-expanding series of conflicts begun by the Japanese army in Manchuria in 1931 and continuing through 1942. By focusing on the activities of the Japanese army and navy high command rather than diplomats between 1921 and 1942, this book provides a fresh perspective on the outbreak of the Pacific War. Recommended. It will be of interest to advanced students of the Pacific War. -- C.J. Weeks CHOICE The book is a lively piece of critical writing from which the university student and the general reader will derive many new insights. It is novel in concept and rich in new information. -- Nish, Ian War In History

A Gathering Darkness
25 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
For many years I have relentlessly studied the history of the pre-war years in China and Japan. Like author Tohmatsu, I agree that the Pacific War (in which I participated) began long before Pearl Harbor. My interest has always been in the years between 1914 and 1937, partcularly the Mukden Incident in 1931,and A Gathering Darkness provided me with information I had not previously come across. The book is well written and, though some sections were not as interesting for me as others, it was overall, an excellent book. To completely understand the Pacific War this book is necessary.
