If you're already reading Rising Sun and don't actually care about Pearl itself, Infamy isn't going to have a lot new. That said, it's been awhile since I've read my Toland; I went through a big Toland phase about twelve years ago, but he isn't one of those historians I feel a need to re-read just for pleasure, unlike say, McPherson, or Halberstam.%
