Japanese Destroyer Captain Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway - Tameichi Hara.pdf

From the best-selling Japanese edition of Captain Hara’s book, Fred Saito of the
Associated Press and Roger Pineau—assistant to Admiral Morison on the U.S. Navy’s
official history of World War II—have prepared a book of paramount interest to all who
want to know the facts about the great naval battles of the Pacific War.
Errors in U.S. accounts of famous sea battles are set right by inside reports of high-
level Japanese strategy meetings and Hara’s eyewitness account of six years of war. At
times sharply critical of famous Japanese admirals, Hara also gives credit to Japanese and
“enemy” officers whose daring and seamanship were proved in the savage battles of the
Pacific.
Illustrated with eight pages of photographs from official U.S. and Japanese Navy files,
and filled with exact maps of naval actions, this is a book for the permanent shelf of works
on sea warfare.
