Kaigun by David Evans
Strategy, Tactics, and Technology in the Imperial Japanese Navy, 1887–1941
A comprehensive study of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s evolution from the late 19th century through the opening years of the Pacific War, examining how strategy, doctrine, technology, industrial capacity, and institutional culture shaped its strengths and weaknesses. It traces the development of shipbuilding and naval aviation, the navy’s strategic thinking and operational practices, and the ways resource limits and organizational priorities influenced decisions. The narrative explains how early tactical successes coexisted with strategic miscalculations, logistical constraints, and an inability to adapt—factors that ultimately constrained its wartime effectiveness.
