Product Description

Product Description
First published in English in 1955, this was the first Japanese account of their decisive defeat to be made available to the general public. There has been a great deal of research since then, but modern scholarship shows these authors' judgement to be correct and their use of secret Japanese archives remarkably accurate. This is a classic battle narrative and one of the most important to have come from Japan. Described by the US Navy as 'essential reading in any study of modern naval warfare', it is fundamental to our understanding of the Japanese navy and its dramatic reversal of fortune just six months after Pearl Harbor.

About the Author
Mitsuo Fuchida led the air attack on Pearl Harbor and commanded the air group of the carrier Akagi at Midway. Masatake Okumiya, one of Japan's pioneer dive-bomber pilots, served aboard the Ryujo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A view from the other side, 1 Oct 2006
By SteveR (Somewhere in Southern England) - See all my reviews
This is an unusal view of a well documented battle, the first time I have read any account of WW2 from a Japenese viewpoint. Well worth reading to gain perspective on what was one of the major turing points of WW2

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting view point, 28 Dec 2007
By R. Warren (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An interesting an well written view on a pivotal battle, with thoughtful consideration of the Japanese preparations for the battle, and reasons for Japanese defeat. The book is unfortunately let down by the lack of historical accuracy regarding the actual day of the battle, for which Shattered Sword by Parshall and Tully gives better detail.
