Accordingly, a book that gives equal coverage to all situations is most welcome. And World War Two: Against the Rising Sun is that book. Starting with events in the 1930s with various Japanese aggressions in China, this 164 page graphic history moves succinctly though the Japanese spread down eastern Asia, the invasion of Burma, the rise and fall of Bose's Indian collaborators with the Japanese, and the naval and amphibious fighting through the Pacific. People profiled come from Japanese, Chinese, Malayan, English, Burmese, Indian, and, yes, American backgrounds. For a student truly interested in the totality of the War against Japan, this book can not be recommended enough. (Note: This book for a student of the Second World War would be nicely paired with Wayne Vansant's Days of Darkness , which covers Pearl Harbor to Midway from the perspective of an American family.) Of the graphic portion of World War Two: Against the Rising Sun, the art is a bit muddy but does the job just fine for giving a student a quick but fairly detailed overview of the Asian and Pacific fighting. Well worth the read! Review: 11 and 13 year old love these - My 11 and 13 year old love these. I was afraid it could be too graphic for them but thankfully it wasn't. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #370,768 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Teen & Young Adult History Comics #80 in Teen & Young Adult Military History #482 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (302) | | Dimensions | 6.5 x 0.4 x 10.25 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 5 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 9381182051 | | ISBN-13 | 978-9381182055 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 168 pages | | Publication date | September 15, 2015 | | Publisher | Campfire | | Reading age | 10 - 17 years | ## Images ![World War Two: Against The Rising Sun (Campfire Graphic Novels) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iCzd4+zWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Graphic History of the War against Japan *by M***S on October 4, 2015* One of the problems one faces when trying to get American students to understand the enormity of the Second World War is that so much of the materials to which they are exposed is so focused on the war only when the United States entered the war; materials on the European Front and especially the Pacific Front give the slightest of glosses of the history before then.

Well worth the read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11 and 13 year old love these *by A***Q on March 22, 2023* My 11 and 13 year old love these. I was afraid it could be too graphic for them but thankfully it wasn't. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ the best book for teens I've read on the Pacific War & the Asian Holocaust *by N***D on June 25, 2016* I'll be brutally honest; this is not a page-turner nor is it exciting or entertaining. However, it is the best book for teens I've read on the Pacific War & the Asian Holocaust. It is informative, interesting and intense. Compellingly unbiased this graphic novel tells the soldier's story of the Pacific War from every angle: the Japanese, the British the Burmese, the Thai, the Chinese, the Russians, the Indians (those fighting for each side), Malaysians, Australians and the Americans. While not being terribly graphic in either pictures or words, the author & illustrator pull no punches in showing the atrocities of the Japanese and their cultural mindset at this time. It also explores the plight of many countries trying to choose between their British Empirical oppressors or the tyrant Japanese who falsely promise an "Asia for Asians". Fantastic piece of work on this subject that every library with teen readers should have on the shelves. ## Frequently Bought Together - World War Two: Against The Rising Sun (Campfire Graphic Novels) - World War Two: Under the Shadow of the Swastika (Campfire Graphic Novels) - World War One: 1914-1918 (Campfire Graphic Novels) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/26812786-world-war-two-against-the-rising-sun-campfire-graphic-novels](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/26812786-world-war-two-against-the-rising-sun-campfire-graphic-novels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
