Japanese armed forces entered the Second World War with the attack on Pearl Harbour in the Pacific Ocean on 7 December, 1941. Almost simultaneously Japanese land forces invaded the Malayan peninsula, sweeping southwards towards Singapore. Although the attacks were shrouded in initial secrecy, both American and British Intelligence had studied the Japanese forces, and this is one of the resulting publications. The pamphlet is a very rare item, and is reprinted because of both its rarity and importance. General Headquarters India issued it in March 1942, and it covers the Japanese Army and, to a lesser degree, the Japanese Air Force. As with all military intelligence publications the pamphlet starts with an overview of the subject, in this case the political influence of the Japanese Army, which was considerable. There follows a detailed examination of the organisation of the Army and its administration. Chapters on infantry, cavalry, artillery, armoured fighting vehicles and airborne troops are accompanied by descriptions of Japanese engineer and service troops. There are also descriptions of chemical warfare, tactics (all forms), and the fifth column, so important in the campaign in Malaya. There are tables and coloured plates to illustrate the pamphlet, and line drawings of Japanese tanks and their flags, together with some contemporary photographs of Japanese troops in action.

The Loss of Java explains in detail the air, sea and land battles between the Allied and Japanese armed forces during the battle for Java that followed the evacuation of southern Sumatra in February 1942. Little has been written about the allied air campaign, or about why Dutch forces fought just one major land battle with the Japanese, the Battle of the Tjiater Pass, in the later stages of the struggle. P.C. Boer considers whether the assessment of Major General Van Oyen that deploying the Allied air forces might prevent Japanese invasion of Java was realistic, and whether reliance on air power limited the capacity of land and naval forces to repel Japan's advances. The generally accepted idea is that the Allies were ineffective in their fight against the Japanese invaders but in fact the Japanese suffered serious losses. Boer's study shows that Dutch strategy grew out of a carefully-devised plan of defense, and that the battle for Java comprised not one (the Battle of the Java Sea) but four major engagements. However, Japanese commanders at various levels consciously took steps that exposed their forces to great risk but succeeded in putting the Allies under great pressure. In the end the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) and the allied forces capitulated on 8 March 1942. This book is a translation of Het Verlies Van Java: Een kwestie van Air Power. De eindstrijd om Nederlands-Indie van de geallieerde lucht-, zee- en landstrijdkrschten in de periode van 18 februari t/m 7 maart 1942 (Amsterdam: Bataafsche Leeuw BV for the Koninklijke Militaire Academie, 2006).

Imperial Japan’s ambitious offensive at the beginning of WWII is captured in dramatic detail in this pictorial history featuring rare wartime photographs. The Japanese offensive in the Far East in 1941-1942 was extraordinary in its ambition, for their aim was to advance across the entire region. They clashed with an array of forces in a series of lightning campaigns that included famous episodes like the raid on Pearl Harbor and the conquest of Singapore. In this vivid photographic history, historian Philip Jowett covers the whole course of the offensive, portraying not only the Japanese military which achieved such incredible success but the armies they overwhelmed. In a sequence of over 200 wartime photographs—many of which have never been published before—Jowett covers the land, sea, and air fighting as the Japanese occupied so much of the region. Rare images of the Japanese forces as they prepared for war and then made seemingly unstoppable progress are matched with images of the armies they surprised and vanquished. Japan Triumphant captures the character of the war in the Far East, showing the appearance, equipment, and weaponry of the armies involved as well as the conditions in which they fought.

Realizing that American General Douglas MacArthur was still in the Phillipines immediately following their surprise attach on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, the Japanese military organization under Prime Minister and Army General Tojo believed that the U.S. Government would probably recall or reassign MacArthur the newly appointed Commander of all non-Naval activities in the Far Eastern, Asiatic Theatre of Operations. This is the exciting fast-moving story of how General MacArthur, his wife and young son Arthur IV, were captured by the Japanese Navy immediately following their escape on a P.T. boat from the island fortress of Corregidor at the tip of the Bataan peninsula in Manila Bay, and how MacArthur was able to befriend and convince Japans Emperor Hirohito that continuation of the war between the United States and Japan should be ended as soon as possible. MacArthur felt it made no sense to go on killing people in view of the friendship that America and Japan had enjoyed for so many years prior to Japans decision to attack Pearl Harbor, which decision Japan made because President Roosevelt had threatened to completely cut off Japans oil imports unless Japan immediately withdrew its army from French Indo China. REVIEW: Great story wish it had happened this way. Jeff Whited, Amherst, Ohio
