商品簡介
Record (strategy, Air War College, Alabama) offers a fine primer on the start of WWII. He examines the reasons behind both Japanese and US tactical decisions, arguing that Japan's imperial aspirations and quest for resources led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, not a belief in superior firepower. The text gives a lucid and concise history of American embargoes levied against Japan, noting that some 60% of Japan's oil came from the US. Record is the author of several other books on WWII strategy. Distributed by Books International. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
