| Summary |
Provides a look at how Britain learned to engage Japan's armed forces as the Pacific War progressed. This book reveals that, prior to Japan's invasion of Southeast Asia, the British held a contemptuous view of Japanese military prowess. It shows that the situation was not helped by the high level of secrecy surrounding Japan's war planning |
