    During the Pacific war from 1941-45, the Japanese were controlling many countries and gaining territory in the Pacific. By 1942-43, Japan was planning a full scale attack on mainland Australia. To do this, they had to take many positions that the Australians were occupying in Papua New Guinea in order to isolate Australia. The Kokoda and Milne Bay military campaigns were both very successful in protecting Australia from Japanese aggression as they prevented the Japanese from taking the Kokoda track, the only possible route into Port Moresby, and from initiating Operation FS, a plan which would have been controlled from Port Moresby as Japan would have been able to launch aerial and naval assaults from Milne Bay’s strategic military facilities.…

    This lead directly to imperial aggression and Japan’s entrance into World War II. During that conflict, Japanese soldiers brought antique samurai swords into battle and made suicidal “banzai” attacks according to the bushido principle of death before dishonor or defeat. Towards war’s end, Japan again drew on its strong sense of honor, discipline and devotion to a common cause–not the daimyos or shoguns of the past, but the emperor and the country–in order to continue their uptake against the Allied forces. They cut off communication with the Allies, not responding to any times they had reached out or addressed the Terms of Surrender that were offered to them. They offered no negotiation as the Allied Forces would not drop the demand for their Emperor to step down.…

    Naval Academy, Craig Symonds has proven the historical reliability of his work by the use of many resources, not only previous literature, but also interviews and military records, among other sources. His ability to explain the “culture that informed” those who made decisions, from both the American and Japanese sides of the war paints of picture of individuality in those players within the battle. Symonds does not simply give a dry, monotonous retelling, his use of background information provides the reader with an appreciation of those men whose actions would direct the steps in this battle dance. From the snow-white head of the imposing and formidable Admiral Nimitz to the “baby-faced air commander,” Lieutenant Tomonaga Joichi who replaced a Commander Fuchida Mitsuo after he became ill with appendicitis. Meeting both the Commander in Chief and Chief of Naval Operations, the “abrasive” and “scandalous” Admiral Ernest J. King, within Symonds’ pages does much to set the mood for the reader of what the tone would have actually been like in his presence.…
