	John Toland - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		TOLAND, JOHN [christened Janus JuNius] (1670-1722), English deist, was born on the 30th of November 1670, near Londonderry, Ireland.
		The author was prosecuted by the grand jury of Middlesex; and, when he attempted to settle in Dublin at the beginning of 1697, he was denounced from the pulpit and elsewhere.
		Toland's next work of importance was his Life of Milton (1698), in which a reference to "the numerous supposititious pieces under the name of Christ and His apostles and other great persons," provoked the charge that he had called in question the genuineness of the New Testament writings.

	washingtonpost.com: Historian John Toland Dies; Won Pulitzer for 'Rising Sun'
		John Toland, 91, the author and historian who wrote a best-selling biography of Adolf Hitler and won a Pulitzer Prize for his description of the Japanese Empire in the 1930s and '40s and the events that led it into war against the United States, died of pneumonia Jan. 4 at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut.
		Toland based his narratives on hundreds of interviews with participants in the events about which he wrote and then attempted to describe the unfolding of history from as many sides as possible, as well as its impact on the famous and the ordinary.
		Toland said he spent six years in Japan researching material for "The Rising Sun." He went there, he said, with a dislike for the Japanese because of their conduct during the war but then ended up writing the book to explain why they behaved as they did.

	Leonard O’Brian \| Writing \| Journeys of Janus \| John Toland
		John Toland probably was born in 1670 in the Inishowen peninsula of County Donegal, in the north of Ireland.
		By contrast, Toland clearly and boldly announces their indistinguishability at the outset: Both human beings and God, he says, can “reveal” truths; likewise, prospective assenters to such putative revelations—human or divine—must determine whether the revelations are legitimate; the determination of legitimacy consists in an act of “faith,” which just is to say, an inference.
		John Toland believed that the philosopher has a professional obligation to “converse promiscuously,” to talk not just with other philosophers, not just with other academics, not just with the members of a single political party or a single religious sect, not just with people from one’s country of birth.

	Toland: father of modern pantheism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Toland was deeply influenced by the Roman materialist poet, Lucretius.
		Unless we consider Lucretius himself a pantheist, Toland is the undoubted father of modern scientific pantheism, the first to combine a strict materialism with respect for the science of his day and a religious reverence of the Universe.
		Toland did attend a Dutch society called the Knights of Jubilation which seems to have had at least a few pantheistically inclined members, but they seem to have engaged mainly in Rabelaisian tomfoolery and carousing.

		Toland was born in Ireland, where he was rumored to be the son of a Catholic priest.

		Robertson considers Toland “a thorough deist until he became pantheist,” saying a certain amount of evasion was forced upon him because of the Blasphemy Law of 1697.

		Toland is generally classed with the deists, but at the time when he wrote Christianity not Mysterious he was careful to distinguish himself from both skeptical atheists and orthodox theologians.
		Toland was involved in at least one such society of pantheists: in 1717 he founded the Ancient Druid Order, an organization that continued uninterrupted until splitting into two groups in 1964.

	[Deathwatch] John Toland, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, 91 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Hitler biographer Toland dies at 91 Monday, January 5, 2004 Posted: 3:19 PM EST (2019 GMT) http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/books/01/05/obit.toland.ap/index.html DANBURY, Connecticut (AP) -- John Toland, who won the 1971 Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction for "The Rising Sun," a historical narrative of the rise and fall of the Japanese empire during World War II, has died.
		Toland described the book as "a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened -- muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox." Although "Rising Sun" won the Pulitzer, Toland may best be known for "Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography," published in 1976.
		Toland also wrote "The Dillinger Days" and "Battle: The Story of the Bulge." Born in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 1912, Toland served in the Army Air Corps and later became a freelance journalist.

		In his Foreword, Toland says that if we are to draw any conclusion from The Rising Sun, it is “that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.” --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
		The author is able to make history come alive, portraying events and personalities in a manner that allows the reader to grasp the subjective details that influenced the history of that time.
		Toland also dwells on the alleged "misinterpretations" of Japanese diplomatic cables, suggesting that U.S. diplomats often overreacted to them because of incorrect translation.

	Review -- Infamy by John Toland
		It is of course improbable that Toland should have consciously or deliberately set out to write a counterblast to Prange, since there is no evidence of any contact between the two men while they were writing their respective works.
		Toland examines the problem of why certain people (in particular the commanders in Hawaii) should have been singled out for the brunt of the blame while others (most notably Marshall, but other senior officials in Washington as well) were spared and even shielded from any question of culpability.
		Toland draws his conclusions with meticulous care, in a volume replete with footnotes and documentation.
