One of the great spectacles of modern naval history is the Imperial
Japanese Navy's instrumental role in Japan's rise from an
isolationist feudal kingdom to a potent military empire stridently
confronting, in 1941, the world's most powerful nation. Years of
painstaking research and analysis of previously untapped
Japanese-language resources have produced this remarkable study of
the navy's dizzying development, tactical triumphs, and humiliating
defeat. Unrivaled in its breadth of coverage and attention to
detail, this important new history explores the foreign and
indigenous influences on the navy's thinking about naval warfare
and how to plan for it. Focusing primarily on the much-neglected
period between the world wars, two widely esteemed historians
persuasively explain how the Japanese failed to prepare properly
for the war in the Pacific despite an arguable advantage in
capability. Maintaining the highest literary standards and
supplemented by a dazzling array of charts, diagrams, drawings, and
photographs, this landmark work provides much important information
not available in any other English-language source. Consciously
avoiding the Eurocentric bias of conventional military scholarship,
David Evans and Mark Peattie make a unique contribution to naval
historiography that will be prized by serious historians and casual
readers alike and that promises to spark debate within the academic
community.
