Some sixty years after the Far Eastern War ended, this innovative
new collection brings together five distinguished UK-based scholars
and five from Japan to reappraise their respective country's
leadership in the Malaya and Burma campaigns. This leadership is
analyzed on various levels, ranging from the grand strategic to
operational. The Japanese contributors examine the reasons for
their forces, brilliant advances in 1941-42, whereas the British
writers have to account for the disastrous defeat, characterized by
the poor leadership of senior commanders such as Bennett and
Percival. Between 1943 and 1945, the tables were turned
dramatically, so the failure of Japanese command decisions then
comes under critical scrutiny and the British have to explain how
defeat was transformed into victory. Above all, this volume should
stimulate interest in different methods and styles of military
leadership in view of the contrasting approaches of the British and
Japanese in the Second World War.
