The popular image of the Japanese tanks which faced the markedly
superior tanks fielded by the Allies during the Second World War is
one of poorly armed and armoured Lilliputian tin cans which failed
to make any impression upon the battlefield. In this absorbing new
history, David McCormack looks beyond widely held and unchallenged
misconceptions to create a new narrative in which Japan's rightful
place as a leading innovator in tank design and doctrine is
restored. Why did Japan produce tanks in such limited numbers? What
contribution did Japanese tanks make to the war effort? Why did it
take Japan so long to develop heavier tanks capable of meeting the
Allies on more equal terms? Drawing from primary and secondary
sources, the author's meticulous research provides the reader with
an objective appraisal of both the successes and failures of the
Empire of the Sun's tank forces.
