Gordon William Prange (July 16, 1910 May 15, 1980) was the author of several WWII historical manuscripts which were published by his co-workers after his death in 1980. Prange was a professor of history at the University of Maryland from 1937 to 1980 with a break of nine years (19421951) of military service in the United States Navy during World War II, and in the postwar military occupation of Japan, when he was the Chief Historian in General Douglas MacArthur's staff. During this time Prange collected material from and interviewed many Japanese military officers, enlisted men, and civilians, with the information later being used in the writing of his books. Several became New York Times bestsellers, including At Dawn We Slept, The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor and Miracle at Midway. Prange's 1963 Tora! Tora! Tora!, published first in Reader's Digest, and later expanded into At Dawn We Slept. Derived from a Kirkus review: A massive history-- the late Professor Prange, chief of military history in occupied Japan, has looked into every aspect of the attack on Pearl Harbor--starting with the Japanese side of the story--and leaves no doubt that (as his collaborators and posthumous editors write) "Tokyo, not Washington, established Japan's foreign policy; the individual responsible for the attack was Isoruko Yamamoto, not Franklin Delano Roosevelt." There is much new material--on such usually neglected matters, too, as: the Japanese war games used to refine the attack plan; the development of special bombs and torpedoes for use in the attack; Japanese intelligence operations in Hawaii--and American counterintelligence; the nature and function of the overlapping American commands in Hawaii. But Prange also presents the well-known material incisively: the historic March 1941 Bellinger-Martin report--a plan for joint Army/Navy action in the event of an attack on Oahu or fleet units in Hawaiian waters--is wrapped up with the observation that they "could not have done a better job of mind reading had they actually looked over the shoulders of Yamamoto." The controversy surrounding what happened thereafter (or didn't happen) engendered eight separate American postwar investigations--and it is in treating these that the book is most outstanding. Prange goes into the nature of each panel, and evaluates its members, procedures, and conclusions; most, he points out, illustrate "hindsight at its hindmost." In an interesting appendix, Goldstein and Dillon summarize Prange's criticisms of the revisionist, Roosevelt-blaming histories of the attack. From first to last--responsible, intelligent, absorbing.

SYNOPSIS: Ian MacHorton, a young officer in the first long-range penetration raid of Wingate's Chindits into Japanese-dominated Burma, was wounded in the leg and left to die in the jungle or surrender to the Japanese. He decided to walk to the Allied lines. Starving, wounded again and taken prisoner, raving, involved in violent jungle fighting, and embarking on perilous river crossings in leaky boats under fire, he somehow survived and reached India. - and - The first long-range penetration of Wingate's Chindits into Japanese-dominated Burma in 1943 is, in itself, a story of incredible fortitude, courage and determination. Ian MacHorton, as a young officer in that raid, faced every privation that that most vicious of campaigns could offer. Wounded in the leg, and so left to die or surrender to the Japanese, he decided to confront the horrors of hundreds of miles of jungle and walk to the Allied lines. Starving, at times raving, taken prisoner, engaged in bitter jungle fighting whenever the Japanese encountered him and other British stragglers, he survived all and finally reached the safety of India. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Atheneum Edition. 553 Pages Indexed. The purpose of this book is to explain the manner in which the strategy of modern war has developed, in the conviction that a knowledge of the best military thought will enable readers to comprehend the causes of war and the fundamental principles which govern its conduct. The editors believe that eternal vigilance in such matters is the price of liberty and if there is to be a durable peace there must be a clear understanding of the role which armed force plays in international society. In chapter 2 is shown that the greatest military historians of our time have felt a need to apologize for their interest in military problems because dislike for war and ignorance concerning its role in human affairs have led peaceful peoples everywhere to deprecate its significance in history and ignore its portentous meaning for our future. For it is not force, in itself, which is wrong but the purposes to which force is sometimes put. As Pascal said almost three centuries ago, we must realize that: Justice without force is impotent. Force without justice tyrannical. The American nation is the foremost military power of modern times. The manner in which we use this great power is momentous for ourselves and for the world. Contents in Five parts: The Origins of Modern War From the 16th Century to the 18th Century, The Classics of the 19th Century Interpreters of Napoleon, Form the 19th Century to the First World War, From the First to the Second World War, and Sea and Air War.
