Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway––the
great naval battles of the Pacific, as seen by Japanese eyes. One of Japan's
most famous naval heroes of World War II, Captain Tameichi Hara––"The
unsinkable Captain" tells of his battles with the allies in World War II.
Errors in U.S. accounts of famous sea battles are set "right" by inside
reports of high-level Japanese strategy meetings and Captain Hara's
eye-witness accounts. 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 and often bloody Pacific battles. A
"Best Seller" in Japan, this book is now long out of print.
