Scott A finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in History, Target Tokyo has been hailed as the definitive account of one of America’s most daring military operations. Drawing from war-crimes testimony, after-action reports, and survivor interviews, Rampage recounts one of the most heartbreaking chapters of Pacific War history. Black Snow is the story of this devastating operation, orchestrated by Major General Curtis LeMay, who famously remarked: “If we lose the war, we’ll be tried as war criminals.” With startling immediacy, Empire of Ashes illuminates the moral dilemma at the center of America’s decision to inflict total war upon Japan.

Scott once again exceeds expectations and proves that he is truly one of the preeminent historians of our time." ―Jack Carr
