Description

This highly regarded war memoir was once a best seller in both Japan and the USA right through the 1960s and has long been treasured by historians for its insights into the Japanese side of the surface war within the Pacific. The creator was once a survivor of multiple hundred sorties against the Allies and was once known during Japan as the “Unsinkable Captain.” A hero to his countrymen, Capt. Hara exemplified the most productive in Japanese surface commanders: highly skilled (he wrote the manual on torpedo warfare), hard driving, and aggressive. Additionally, he maintained a code of honor worthy of his samurai grandfather, and, as readers of this book have come to appreciate, he was once as free with praise for American courage and resourcefulness as he was once very important of himself and his senior commanders.
