Synopsis
This highly regarded war memoir was a bestseller in both Japan and the US during the 1960s and has long been treasured by historians for its insights into the Japanese side of the surface war in the Pacific. The author was a survivor of more than one hundred sorties against the Allies and was known throughout Japan as the ""Unsinkable Captain""., This highly regarded war memoir was a best seller in both Japan and the United States during the 1960s and has long been treasured by historians for its insights into the Japanese side of the surface war in the Pacific. The author was a survivor of more than one hundred sorties against the Allies and was known throughout Japan as the "Unsinkable Captain." A hero to his countrymen, Capt. Hara exemplified the best in Japanese surface commanders: highly skilled (he wrote the manual on torpedo warfare), hard driving, and aggressive. Moreover, he maintained a code of honor worthy of his samurai grandfather, and, as readers of this book have come to appreciate, he was as free with praise for American courage and resourcefulness as he was critical of himself and his senior commanders., This highly regarded war memoir was a best seller in both Japan and the United States during the 1960s and has long been treasured by historians for its insights into the Japanese side of the surface war in the Pacific.

    Naval History "Must Have"

    A fascinating account from a Japanese perspective. Mr. Hara recounts his naval years without ego-infused fluff, recounting victories and defeats, revealing his innermost emotions and objectively written. If you've enjoyed books such as, Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailor, you will love this book.

    Will read it when I get to it.

    It would be nice to be able to read it first before you ask for a review. From what I have reviewed, it looks like a good book and to see the view from the other side. It goes on my list of many books I already have to read.

    Professionally written

    The opposing naval forces in the Pacific War were skilled and professional, especially at the junior officer level. This documentary is a well-needed look into the opposition.
