The powerful and riveting new book in the multimillion-selling Killing series by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes readers to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Across the globe in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists are preparing to test the deadliest weapon known to mankind. In Washington, DC, FDR dies in office and Harry Truman ascends to the presidency, only to face the most important political decision in history: whether to use that weapon. And in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito, who is considered a deity by his subjects, refuses to surrender, despite a massive and mounting death toll. Told in the same page-turning style of Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, Killing Patton, and Killing Reagan, this epic saga details the final moments of World War II like never before.

Bill O'Reilly has done it again! I was truly enlightened about the war with Japan. I knew there were atrocities, but I never realized the extent of the cruelty. The number of Allied casualties is staggering and the suffering of those who fought is unimaginable. I literally read a chapter and had to put the book down to reflect on how courageous and terrified our military men had to have been in the face of such odds. I have a great uncle that survived the Death March and never understood until now what a miracle that was. In my opinion, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified,however, I pray that the world will never experience such devastation again. In retrospect it was innocents that suffered the most from that decision. Harry Truman did what he had to do. This book puts that terrible decision in prospective. O'REILLY tells the story with a view on suffering from both sides.I have read all of the "Killing" series and I hope he continues with more. This book is the best ever for "Baby Boomers" like me to understand the significance of this conflict.A MUST READ!!!
