Description
The Imperial Japanese Navy's Development and Defeat: A Comprehensive History This book provides a detailed and authoritative study of the Imperial Japanese Navy's development, tactics, and technology from 1887 to 1941. Drawing on previously untapped Japanese-language resources, the authors offer a unique and comprehensive exploration of the Navy's thinking on naval warfare and its preparation for the war in the Pacific. The authors argue that the Japanese failed to prepare properly for the war in the Pacific, despite having an advantage in capability, and that this failure was due to a combination of factors, including foreign and indigenous influences on the Navy's thinking. The book is supplemented by a range of charts, diagrams, drawings, and photographs, making it a valuable resource for serious historians and casual readers alike. With its high literary standards and attention to detail, this landmark work provides important information not available in any other English-language source, and is likely to spark debate within the academic community.
