Japanese Military Strategy in the Pacific War

Meer over het boek

Challenging the notion of Japan's inevitable defeat in the Pacific, James B. Wood presents a compelling argument that a shift in military strategy led to this outcome. He asserts that the Japanese forces had both the means and opportunity to pursue a more effective campaign, which could have drastically altered the war's conclusion. By abandoning their original plan to secure resources and establish a defensible perimeter, the Japanese unwittingly allowed the Allies to seize control and engage them in a war of attrition they were ill-equipped to sustain.
