I would expect a book like this to start in the Taisho period. From what I understand, Japan was becoming a modern democracy in the 1920s, and the military overthrew the democracy in the 1930s, and launched an invasion of China. Eventually, they would negotiate with the US over withdrawing from China, but wound up deciding on an attack at Pearl Harbor, and the rest is history. So are there any books that explain the military takeover of Japan, as well as how the war was pursued from the Japanese side?
As I assume you don't read Japanese so I'll refrain from giving Japanese language sources, but when it comes to books by Japanese authors easily available in English, the choice might be rather limited.
For a good overview of political developments leading up to the war, a recent book is "From Party Politics to Militarism in Japan, 1924-1941" by Kitaoka Shinichi, a historian and former Japanese ambassador to the United Nations. I have it on my shelf as a gift from a Japanese diplomat, but must admit I haven't thoroughly read it yet, just skimmed through it. But it seems a good factual account. Although coming from a government official it is probably not very critical.
A book that I was prescribed when I was doing Japanese studies was Barnhart's "Japan prepares for total war: the search for economic security,1919-1941". The book describes the economic and political developments leading up WWII, not only from an American perspective but based on many Japanese sources. https://www.worldcat.org/title/japan-prepares-for-total-war-the-search-for-economic-security-1919-1941/oclc/14002715
What also is interesting is to read how analysts and scholars were looking at Japan at the time itself. The book to read (from 1936 but republished in 2010 by Routledge) is "Militarism and Foreign Policy in Japan" by E.E.N. Causton. Another interesting collection of articles from the time, including Japanese authors is*"1918-1945: Japan, The West and Asia Pacific, selected contemporary readings on crises and conflict"*https://www.renaissancebooks.co.uk/Catalogue/85-/Wars-and-Rumours-of-War-1918-1945-Japan-the-West-and-Asia-Pacific-Selected-Contemporary-Readings-on-Crises-and-Conflict-Series-1-1918-1937-From-Armistice-to-North-China
Not exactly academic literature, but I'd really advice the Showa Series of Shigeru Mizuki, which provides a beautifully illustrated account from the Japanese perspective as the author recounts his personal life before and during war in a manga series. It has been translated in English and still widely available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showa:_A_History_of_Japan
However my number one choice for you to read ia another excellent personal account and a must read in my opinion: "The Pacific War, 1931-1945: a critical perspective of Japan's role in WWII" by Saburo Ienaga.
Saburo Ienaga is an interesting figure, a Japanese historian who dared to look critically at Japan's wartime past, which caused him a lot of problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabur%C5%8D_Ienaga
