- Summary
- This is the first volume in SR Books' trilogy on the Pacific War. It offers a fascinating look at the prelude to the Pacific War and the early stages of the conflict that no one interested in World War II, military history, or Japanese history will want to miss. It shows how historical events in the 1920-1930s directed the country into war with America and the Allied Forces. It also covers Japan's increasing militancy during the 1930s. This volume ties together political, economic, and military conditions in Japan that lead to the marginalization of democracy and examines in great detail the first five months of the Pacific war and Japanese deliberations in that time.
