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 anchored The O'Reilly Factor for more than 20 years, the highest-rated cable news show in the country. He is the author of the number-one bestsellers Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, Killing Patton, and Killing Reagan.

Martin Dugard is the New York Times bestselling author of several books of history. He and his wife live in Southern California with their three sons.

This is a very thorough historically-oriented justification for Truman's actions vis-a-vis the A-bomb being dropped on Japan. While some combat action and the horrors inflicted on Japanese captives were a bit graphic in description, they were absolutely necessary to convey the brutality that led to the war crimes trial. Well written and easy to read.

I am an avid reader and can tell you that this book is one of the best that I have ever read. It is both educational and entertaining. The history is absolutely factual and incredible. I had a hard time putting the book down between reads.

Bill, thank you for revealing just what my father endured in the Pacific theater before, during and after he survived Pearl Harbor. This book helped me to understand him and our Country's history better. I only wish he was alive now to share your story with him. I wish I had read "Killing The Rising Sun" forty years ago while both of my parents, their parents, and their siblings were all still living so that I could learn more from all of them about their personal stories in this regard. No one today really knows the terrible burden they had to bear. But I do understand now why I was raised with "Old School" values!

Very sobering and excellent read - I am amazed at what I didn't know of that time period in history. You truly know how to paint a picture with your words. Thanks - keep'em coming.
