Japan's war in Asia and the Pacific from 1937 to 1945 continues to
be a subject of great interest, yet the wartime Japanese army
remains little understood outside Japan. Most published accounts
rely on English-language works written in the 1950s and 1960s. The
Japanese-language sources have remained relatively inaccessible to
Western scholars in part because of the difficulty of the language,
a difficulty that Edward J. Drea, who reads Japanese,
surmounts.
In a series of searching examinations of the structure, ethos, and
goals of the Japanese military establishment, Drea offers new
material on its tactics, operations, doctrine, and leadership.
Based on original military documents, official histories, court
diaries, and Emperor Hirohito's own words, these twelve essays
introduce Western readers to fifty years of Japanese scholarship
about the war and Japan's military institutions. In addition, Drea
uses recently declassified Allied intelligence documents related to
Japan to challenge existing views and conventional wisdom about the
war.
