Pacific War: 1931-1945 by Saburo Ienaga is a good one. It may just seem like a normal WWII book to anyone who doesnt know much about Japanese society but if you know how censored Japan is to anything that lays any blame on them for WWII you will know how amazing this book. Almost all Japanese textbooks make noreference to WWII at all. And the ones that do mention it very briefly. And they refuse to mention anything about the many many Japanese civilians that the Japanese soldiers themselves murdered during the war or the other holocaust type tragedies that occured. This is a good book, if you can you should check it out.
