Zusammenfassung:"Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku was the defining Japanese naval commander of World War II. He planned and executed the daring pre-emptive strike on Pearl Harbor that damaged the US Pacific Fleet and ushered in the Pacific War, and commanded the Japanese Combined Fleet until his death at American hands following the Guadalcanal campaign in 1943. Despite the success of the Pearl Harbor operation, Yamamoto's subsequent handling of the Combined Fleet raises a number of questions. His battles against the US Navy at the Coral Sea, Midway and, finally, Guadalcanal, all undermine his reputation as a premier naval strategist. Mark Stille examines these key campaigns to analyze Yamamoto's command style and strategies, and assess how these impacted the course of the war in the Pacific and Japan's chances for victory"...back cover
