Just started this book...as i expected it is a detailed analysis of how the Japanese Culture operated under War conditions. It also shows how the Japanese society was structured along long held beliefs which were overtaken by events of the day. Max Hastings as usual, is thorough and analytical in his illustration of the actions of individual Japanese servicemen in action.

Hastings books on WW2 are never less than riveting reading. His writing style is accessible without being verbose. His observations on the shortcomings of the Allied war effort are a recurring theme throughout most of his books and yet his respect for the Fighting men on all sides shines through - and rightly so.
