Description
Japanese Destroyer Captain: Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway -- the Great Naval Battles as Seen Through Japanese Eyes
This memoir, written by Captain Tameichi Hara, offers a unique perspective on the Japanese side of the surface war in the Pacific during World War II. A veteran of over 100 sorties, Captain Hara provides a firsthand account of the intense sea battles fought by Japanese destroyers, including the sinking of his own ship and the demise of the Yamato battleship.
Through his experiences, Captain Hara reveals the challenges faced by the Japanese navy, including the lack of proper maintenance and supplies, as well as the development of Allied scientific equipment and superior aircraft. Despite these challenges, Captain Hara remained a hero to his countrymen, exemplifying the best qualities of a Japanese surface commander.
