Prior to World War II, the United States's war plans were code-named by color. Japan was Orange and the United States was Blue. Miller (a retired business executive) spent over 15 years researching the plan that was used to defeat Japan. He states that the plan was . . . history's most successful war plan . . . . The prewar plans of other great powers proved, by and large, to be costly failures. Miller also gives insights into the impact of the officers who hammered out War Plan Orange: the realists and adventurists, or the cautionaries and thrusters. This is an important book for anyone wishing to understand the methods of American war planning, and it is the only book on War Plan Orange. Miller's writing style and lucid explanations make the book suitable for most readers, even though it is clearly for scholars and specialists in the field. Recommended for most academic libraries and for public libraries where there is a strong interest in World War II in the Pacific.
