John Willard Toland (June 29, 1912 - January 4, 2004) was an American author and historian. He is most well-known for his biography of Adolf Hitler, although he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1971 for his book The Rising Sun, which chronicled the Japanese empire during World War II.
Toland tried to write history as a straightforward narrative, without too much analysis or judgement. One exception to this is his Day of Infamy about the Pearl Harbor attack and the investigations of it. Some of the sources he cited have come forward to dispute his account of their information.
