Soldiers of the Sun

More than just a history of the Imperial Japanese Army in WWII, it's a complete history of the IJA going back to its origins in the mid-19th Century during the Meiji Restoration.

It attempts to cover a great deal of ground, and does so adequately. Covering the raw events, as well as trying to explain such things as how an army noted for its humanitarian treatment of POWs in WWI could go on to commit major atrocities in WWII.

It also describes how the IJA effectively crushed popular democracy movements in the name of national defense. Something that many Americans don't realize, as they think that the US introduced democracy to the country following WWII.
