Tactics of the Imperial Japanese Army

The material in this book is taken from the wartime US intelligence journal Tactical and Technical Trends. It was originally collected from British and US combat reports, captured Japanese documents, P. O. W. debriefs and Japanese training manuals. It provides a priceless glimpse into how the men in the front lines learned about their enemy, and presents the modern reader with an invaluable insight into how the events of the war with Japan were perceived at the time when they actually unfolded. The reports also provide us with a host of information concerning the minor aspects of the thousands of tactical combats being waged day in and day out which expand our knowledge of the realities of the fighting in World War II.
