"A captain of the French Navy Reserve married to the daughter of a Japanese admiral tells the story of the career of the Japanese Navy in World War II from their side. He follows the fleet from Yamamoto's reluctant acceptance of war and the brilliant conquest of 'The Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere' to the shift in power- balance at Midway and the death sentence at Leyte, with the kamikaze making the last destructive attempt to save their nation. With the account of each engagement comes a list of the forces of each side and those sunk. There is a sense of the evolution of battle techniques and weapons here, of the character of the Japanese officers and crew, of the significant errors made: the Japanese failed to cut Allied communication lines and- more important- to arrange to maintain the fleet and personnel by shipbuilding and training programs. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

At first glance, Death of a Navy: Japanese Naval Action in World War II offers potentially unique insights into the Pacific war. Originally published in the U. S. In 1957, it is contemporaneous with works such as S. E. Morison's History of U. S. Naval Operations in World War II (1947-1962) and Mitsuo Fuchida's Midway: the Battle that Doomed Japan (1955) and so documents what would still have been relatively recent events. The author, Andrieu d'Albas, was a Captain in the French Navy and (presumably) wrote from the perspective of an informed non-participant. He also, according to the dust jacket, ".spent many months of duty in postwar Japan, married a Japanese woman, speaks Japanese fluently, and knows intimately many of Japan's former top naval officers and civilian leaders" and was thus able to obtain first-person accounts from the losing side. Taken together, these traits of the book and its author should have combined to make a unique contribution to the World War II history of the Imperial Japanese Navy. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
