"Spector has done the impossible and done it with dazzling
brilliance. Mining a warehouse of material with absolute control,
he has produced a superbly readable, insightful, gripping, unbiased
one-volume history of the American-Japanese war that is at the same
time a glorious celebration of the American spirit."
--Clay Blair, Washington Post Book World "The best one-volume
history of that complex conflict. . . . No future book on the
Pacific war will be written without paying due tribute to Eagle
Against The Sun."
--Drew Middleton, The New York Times "Excellent. . . . Likely to be
for a long time to come the standard, comprehensive history of the
Pacific Ocean War."
