Title: An Asian Winds of War?
Review: A sweeping view of the Pacific theatre during World War II, but this work is no Winds of War. The book is too sweeping and lacks focus on individual events. The book offers the premise that Tojo was "forced" into the attack on Pearl harbor because of the oil embargo. In other words, we hanged an innocent man, and Tojo was not a war criminal. Although Japanese atrocities are presented, the book portrays the Japanese as not wanting war. A mediocre story built upon an absurdity.
