It's not often that once I start reading a new book that I intentionally "go slow" and re-read paragraphs to make sure that I fully understand what's going on. In a sense, it's a strategy to prolong the pleasure of the read. This is one of those rare books. In addition to being one of the few decent Japanese accounts of WWII, the destroyer (and cruiser) commander's observations are noteworthy. He gives insights into tactical and strategic blunders on both sides of the conflict. Moreover, he participated in most of the major engagements of the War (although his role at Midway was very minor), and fills in details about how the Japanese Navy used and misused its assets from the very start. The grinding effect of growing material and technological advantages by the U.S. is clearly delineated, as is his grudging respect for the talents of American sailors as the War progressed. The only "difficult to digest" comments made by Captain Hara are assertions that Japanese actions such as the infamous rape of Nanking were "exaggerated". He retains the blinders that almost all Japanese have worn since the late 1930s concerning the realities of their actions in the Asian theater of War. Despite this, it's a truly fascinating book.
I first read this book back in the late 1960s. As a history major at the time, I had been studying the naval war with Japan for many years and much about it just did not make sense. Why did the Japanese keep on making so many mistakes? There were not stupid, notwithstanding our own propaganda to that effect.After Captain Hara published his book, historians all over the world were jumping up and down. At last they had an inside view of how the Japanese military had been structured, how inflexible it had become, how it was strategically commanded not by naval staff, but by the needs of the Army. They also came to understand how in the early battles, the U.S. naval forces had fared so badly. Much of it was because of Captain Hara's torpedo doctrine and the navy's vastly superior long range oxygen driven torpedo. But the army was so focused on its own problems, it did not prepare for the obsolescence of its own equipment and/or the needs of the navy which it relied upon for so much.The Japanese naval high command was also a mess. It did not rely on battle hardened veterans, but rather stuck with its rigid class system and kept on promoting those who never understood the nature of the enemy they faced or the influence technology would have upon its outcome. That Captain Hara was critical of these commanders can only be seen as a very good thing. Many fine Japanese sailors died needlessly because of their errors. Hopefully, today they have eliminated these problems and will not be fighting the last war when the next one is forced upon them.I have recommended this book many times to young people who have shown an interest in the naval war in the Pacific. It is simply the best book to come out of the war, and notwithstanding the many fine military folks who disagree with me, preferring a more patriotic view, it reveals our enemy of the time in fine detail and tells a story of that conflict no one on our side could match. No study of the naval war could be complete without a thorough understanding of Captain Hara's great adventures. If he made mistakes in his depiction of various battles and/or facts, as some here have claimed, those mistakes have been matched many times over by our own battle observers and writers. That is the nature of war and bias.Gerald Lane Summers. See my own books.Mobley's Law, A Mobley Meadows Novel
Once a century there is a great naval war. Somewhere ahead in the 21st Century one lies in ambush. While Trafalgar, Tsushima Straits, and Midway capture the headlines, the deeper truth of victory lies in the battle of attrition that is fought by the patrol craft, frigates and destroyers on either side. Capt Hara has done a great service to all professional Navy men is dissecting why Japan lost the naval war with the United States in World War II. In the early days, Japan had the better destroyers and the tactical edge. Theirs were faster and with the Long Lance torpedo put their ships outside the reach of US naval gunfire. They won most of the early engagements at the tactical level because of this and their practice of perfecting it in night engagements. As Capt Hara points out so starkly, they lost because of three factors.>First, the Americans achieved tactical parity within a year but at a high price in Iron Bottom Sound. They discovered and corrected the problem with their own torpedoes failure to explode on impact at the high price of battle losses. They rapidly mastered the intricacies of night fighting. More importantly, they became better at combined arms, meaning their use of ships, planes, information, reconnaissance and surveillance started jelling together in a boxer's combination of footwork, body blows and one-two-three punches to defeat their enemy over time rather than seeking one knock out punch.>Second, on the operational level, the Japanese navy failed to commit a sufficient naval mass, which they had at hand, to crush the American's at Guadalcanal. The Japanese High Command was focused on China and Southeast Asia leaving the backdoor open in what Churchill may have called the "soft underbelly" of the Solomon, Marshall and Caroline Islands. Caution: I wouldn't use that term to a sailor, soldier or marine who fought their way up to the Philippines, Iwo Jima, or Okinawa.>Third, while trite today to say this, Japan had not the industrial strength or stamina to out produce the United States. Its losses were permanent. They put too much steel into super battleships like Yamato and could not produce the massive amounts of ammunition for them or their other ships that the United States commanders could use without a second thought of running out of shells. The famous quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto's after the attack on Peril Harbor came true: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve." A great part of the hobbling of Japan's industrial strength goes to the Navy's strategic decision to commit its submarine force to the destruction of Japan's merchant fleet of ore and oil carriers. One can only wonder in today's era of super containerships and extra large oilers what a short, high intensity submarine campaign could do to cave in the American consumers will to win a war among titan nations.>For the amateur and the professional alike, Capt. Hara makes it abundantly clear that defeat at the tactical and operational levels rested at the highest strategic command levels. Actually, Capt Hara is very pointed that only one man, Chief of Naval General Staff, was responsible for all the major command decisions of how the fleet would be deployed. The American's on the other hand praise the decisions of Adm Nimitz and Adm King, our top two flag officers during the war. The book leaves one to wonder: How do we decide who should make our strategic decisions? Should the makeup of the man, or now a day's possibly the woman, be the deciding factor or should the decision making process be the focus of concern? Probably both. A Navy is an expensive investment, just ask the Russians. Losing a naval war is not an option. Just read Capt Hara for proof of that.
I have a paperback copy I purchased in the 1960s that is almost worn to tatters. I was delighted to find it for Kindle to add to my digital library.The story is a very informative, and engrossing account of a Japanese Captain, and his life in the Imperial Navy. I have many books about the UIS Navy in the Pacific War, but this in one of only a few showing the "other side". In recent years a few others have been translated into English and made available to broaden my understanding of the events of my father's time.
