Why the Japanese Lost by Bryan Perrett
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.6 MB
Overview: This book tells the story of a war unlike any other in history, fought between a nation that believed itself to be invincible, even when its strength was being systematically destroyed by the greatest industrial power in the world.
The peculiarities of the Japanese way of fighting are all unpicked by Bryan Perrett, a writer committed to extensive research and rigorous analysis of all facets of his chosen history. The resulting text charts the course of the Japanese Army’s career trajectory from the middle of the nineteenth century through the closing months of the Second World War, taking in the various successes enjoyed and, importantly, the flaws that fed the Army’s greatest failures.
Prior to the middle of the nineteenth century, the Empire of Japan was content to remain in medieval isolation and, apart from very limited trading concessions, was unwilling to extend her contacts with the Western world. This was all to change however, as Japan hurtled forwards into the twentieth century, armed and determined to carve out a new identity characterized by a dominating spirit. Dejected by the Great Depression of the early 1930s, they were a nation grown from moderate to militant.
