John Toland (1912-2004) was an award-winning American author and
one of the most widely read military historians of the twentieth
century. His most well-known work is perhaps The Rising Sun, winner
of the 1971 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction and the first
book in English to tell the story of the Pacific War from the
Japanese perspective. Although primarily an author of historical
nonfiction, he also wrote novels, plays, and short stories. Among
his published books were four New York Times bestsellers: But Not
in Shame, The Last Hundred Days, Adolf Hitler, and Infamy.
Traber Burns worked for thirty-five years in regional theater,
including the New York, Oregon, and Alabama Shakespeare festivals.
He also spent five years in Los Angeles appearing in many
television productions and commercials, including Lost, Close to
Home, Without a Trace, Boston Legal, Grey's Anatomy, Cold Case,
Gilmore Girls, and others.
"Compelling and candid...Big and sweeping...This is hard-hitting, snappy, gripping, and gritty set-the-record-straight reporting."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
