A mandatory read for TRUE non-hyphenated Amercians!

This text should almost be considered as a mandatory read for all high school students, Sociology, History, and Economics majors. Presidents, national leaders, and Congress might possibly learn a few things from these pages! The second 'book' [ie part] as its referred to in the text, is more challenging & can get more difficult to read if one is not militarily-inclined, or strategically-challenged, lets say. Still, pretty interesting stuff. Prior to even beginning, the author does warn/advise the reader to [try to] maintain an open mind and be prepared for all kinds of passions and deep prejudices to be drawn to the surface when he presents and lays out the brutal Truth of man. In fact, even 100 years since first printed, the absolute parallels, similarities, analogies, and near-identical scenario/picture with today's society is downright scary and borderline prophetic. This book is TOO truthful, makes TOO MUCH SENSE, and thus I'm surprised our current society [and now government], has not banned, or somehow restricted this book for both political-correctness & national security reasons. REALLY GOOD READ! hard to put down after starting.

Fascinating!

Complete with maps, schedules, and text, this book lays out how Japan can invade the United States---and it was written decades before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Spell-binding, specific, historic. If you have any concern or interest re Japan's attack on us, you will certainly be intrigued by this amazing book!
