I am currently reading “Twilight of the Gods”, the last book in Ian Toll’s Pacific Trilogy. The trilogy is the best I’ve read covering the Pacific war and gives a lot of attention to the Japanese side of the war, in particular,the political landscape. If you are interested in WW2 history, this is a must read as far as I’m concerned.

Agreed! Those books are incredible. I also highly recommend Rick Atkinson's "Liberation Trilogy". It follows the US Army's campaigns in North Africa, Sicily/Italy, and Western Europe.

"Japan 1941 Countdown to Infamy" by Eri Hotta is also a good one that examines the Japanese perspective of Pearl Harbor.
