HIROHITO’S WAR

The Pacific War 1941-1945

by Francis Pike

Bloomsbury Hardcover in Dustjacket 1110 Pages 2015

NAMED ONE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS' BEST BOOKS OF 2016

Widely praised as a “magisterial” and “definitive” work, this substantial volume is regarded as one of the most comprehensive single-volume histories of the Pacific War.

The book traces the origins of the war in the complex political and economic tensions of the early 20th century, before delivering a detailed account of the major campaigns—from Pearl Harbor through to Hiroshima. Alongside its chronological narrative, it offers fresh and often controversial interpretations, particularly regarding Emperor Hirohito’s role and responsibility, the inevitability of Allied victory, and the strategic decisions of key figures such as MacArthur and Yamamoto.
