IMAGES OF WAR: RISING SUN AT WAR The Japanese Army 1031-1945

Jowett describes the development of the army, its structure, organisation, and expansion during these years, and illustrates its actions in a series of campaigns that are often overlooked, including those in China between 1931 and 1937 and the Nomonhan campaign against the Soviet Union in 1938. The photographs and accompanying text dramatically reveal the extraordinary ambition of the Japanese military during these years. Rising Sun at War provides a graphic record of the Japanese army’s performance against the opposing forces that were eventually arrayed against it -the Chinese, British, Soviets, and Americans.
