From the devastating strike on Pearl Harbor to the sweeping expansion across Southeast Asia, Japanese forces demonstrated a level of precision, coordination, and tactical innovation that reshaped modern warfare.But within just six months, that momentum came to a sudden and dramatic halt at Midway.In From Pearl Harbour to Midway: The Evolution of Japanese Tactics, Gyorgy Gergely delivers a compelling and analytically rich examination of how Japanese military doctrine evolved-and why it ultimately failed. Blending strategic insight with historical narrative, this book explores the principles that drove Japan's early success, including the emphasis on surprise, speed, and concentrated force.
