The Reluctant Admiral : Yamamoto and the Imperial Navy
by Hiroyuki Agawa, John Bester (Translator)

Paperback: Kodansha America, Inc./$17,00 (2000)

Original Japanese version was first published in the middle of 1960s by Shinchyosha and now is available only in a 2-volume Shincyo Bunko version.

Fictionalized biography of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Although strategically opposed the war against the US, Yamamoto dutifully planned and splendidly executed the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941. This is an impressive human document of the “tragic Admiral” by an award winning Japanese writer.
