Japanese Army Handbook, 1939-1945

Insightful guide into Imperial Japanese military structure.

If you're a history buff or interested in military strategy, "Japanese Army Handbook, 1939-1945" could offer you a comprehensive look into the transformation and tactics of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. George Forty presents a detailed breakdown of their organization and culture, bringing to life their formidable jungle warfare capabilities. Understanding the ethos that drove the soldiers to such extremes provides a sobering context for the conflict's events.

Description

The redoubtable Japanese Imperial Army grew from 1.5 million men in 1939 to 5.5 million by the end of the war. Their highly successful campaigns in the Far East and Pacific theaters at the beginning of WW II were every bit as spectacular as those of the Germans in Europe, their troops earning an enviable reputation as expert jungle fighters. Their code of honor also made them extremely cruel enemies to prisoners and civilians alike, while their Kamikaze suicidal tendencies meant they would automatically fight to the last without any thought of surrender.
