Japan's War
Tracing the history of Japanese aggression from 1853 onward, Hoyt masterfully addresses some of the biggest questions left from the Pacific front of World War II.
Pearl Harbor Attack
Retells the attack on the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in 1941, from the perspectives of both the United States sailors on the ground and the Japanese pilots on the attack.
Inferno
Did the bombing of Japan's cities—culminating in the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—hasten the end of World War II? Edwin Hoyt, World War II scholar and author, argues against the U.S. justification of the bombing. In Inferno, Hoyt shows how the United States bombed without discrimination, hurting Japanese civilians far more than the Japanese military. Hoyt accuses Major General Curtis LeMay, the Air Force leader who helped plan the destruction of Dresden, of committing a war crime through his plan to burn Japan's major cities to the ground. The firebombing raids conducted by LeMay's squadrons caused far more death than the two atomic blasts. Throughout cities built largel...

The Kamikazes
Here is a powerful, incisive portrait of the men who carried out the Japanese suicide missions during the Pacific campaign of World War II. The story of these superbly trained, fiercely loyal, and recklessly courageous pilots is drawn with rare breadth and dimension, a brilliant recreation of one of war's most surreal and frightening episodes.
Warlord
Vilified in the West as the Japanese equivalent of Hitler, Hideki Tojo (1884-1948) was in fact cut from very different cloth. Lacking the skills and charisma of a statesman, fueled by no apocalyptic visions, Tojo was an unimaginative soldier whose primary goals were to establish Japan's military strength and serve his emperor. Yet his determination and ambition caused him to participate in the seizure of power when the military took over the government. WWII scholar Hoyt, a resident of Japan, relies on new sources and remarkable insight to show how Tojo and the leaders of Japan's armed forces gained control of the country, but how ambition ultimately proved to be Tojo's undoing.
Mussolini's Empire
Hoyt shows how these gifts, wedded to ruthless ambition and a life-long conviction that he was born to lead the masses, were to account for Mussolini's successes, first as a brilliant young newspaper editor and charismatic leader of the Italian Socialists, and finally as the creator of the Italian Fascist Empire.
Hirohito
Biography of Emperor Hirohito challenging portrayals of him as an unworldly scientist or military might, but a peaceful man caught up in a turbulent time.
Mutiny on the Globe
The true story of one of the most monstrous crimes ever committed on the high seas.
Hitler's War
Written in the fast-paced, dramatic style Hoyt's readers expect is this skillful rendering of a mesmerizing period of military history, and a new portrait of the man who dominated an era. 32 photos.
