In a comprehensive study of four decades of military policy, Brian
McAllister Linn offers a detailed history of the US Army in Hawaii
and the Philippines between 1902 and 1940. Most accounts focus on
the months preceding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. By
examining the years prior to the outbreak of war, Linn provides a
perspective on the complex evolution of events in the Pacific.
""Guardians of Empire"" traces the development of US defence policy
in the region, concentrating on strategy, tactics, internal
security, relations with local communities and military technology.
Linn challenges earlier studies which argue that army officers
either ignored or denigrated the Japanese threat and remained
unprepared for war. He demonstrates instead that from 1907 onward
military commanders in both Washington and the Pacific were vividly
aware of the danger, that they developed a series of plans to avert
it, and that they in fact identified - even if they could not solve
- many of the problems that would become tragically apparent on 7
December 1941.
