This book describes the destruction of the Imperial Japanese Navy as seen from a postwar Japanese perspective, and as written for a Japanese audience. Masanori Ito was a journalist in Tokyo during the Pacific conflict, personally knew many of the Imperial Navy's principal wartime commanders, and was able to interview them both during and after the war. Ito's access to and relationships with these men allowed him to provide unique insights into Japanese policy making and planning prior to, during, and after the conflict, and helps to explain chosen Japanese courses of action.
