The Road to Pearl Harbor offers a
timely examination of the conflict in the Pacific prior to
the attacks on Pearl Harbor and offers lessons applicable to
understanding contemporary Great Power flash points between
Asia and the West. This volume brings together
renowned historians and analysts of grand strategy to map out the
fateful decisions that culminated in war. The contributors take
a pragmatic view of the policy and strategy options, as well as
the decisions made by the leaders of the great powers. This
important history underscores that the choices made by political,
military, and naval leaders mattered in determining questions of
war and peace. Highlighting Japan's war against China and
the protracted resistance of Chiang-Kai-shek's Nationalist
regime, The Road to Pearl Harbor provides historical context
for understanding the struggle for mastery in Asia and decisions
for war. The book also makes an important contribution to
interwar naval history by examining the views of the Japanese
navy's leaders, who wanted to build up their navy to defeat Britain
and the United States at sea. This history is certainly relevant,
as the concluding chapter demonstrates in an eye-opening
examination of the current views held by Chinese naval officers
about how to fight a future war in the Pacific.
