College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2003. vii + 557 pp. $40.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-58544-246-1. Reviewed by Charles C. Kolb (National Endowment for the Humanities) Published on H-US-Japan (April, 2005) Flawed General: Douglas MacArthur and the Japanese Attack on the Philippine Islands, December 8, 1941 As a result of the Spanish-American War and the acquisition of the Philippine Islands from Spain in 1898, the United States extended its influence nearly 7,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean and only 600 miles from the Asian continent. Maintaining a civilian administrative and military presence in the islands was a difficult task since the Philippines were situated more than 4,500 miles from Hawaii, the nearest American operational base. The difficulties of defending the Philippines were significant since the archipelago consists of over 7,000 islands stretching more than 1,100 miles north and south and maximally 600 miles east to west. The Philippine land mass is greater than that of the British Isles and nearly the same as Japan. Nonetheless, during the subsequent four decades, the Commonwealth of the Philippines developed close economic, political and sentimental ties with the United States and had a liberal constitution modeled after the American document. Military security in the Philippines depended upon a small contingent of American army and naval forces and the native Philippine defense force, developed under retired General Douglas MacArthur, a former United States Army Chief of Staff who had been appointed by the Commonwealth as Field Marshal of the Philippines.

Kolb (National Endowment for the Humanities) Published on H-US-Japan (December, 1999) [Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this review are those ofthe author and not of his employer or any other federal agency.] Japanese Perspectives on the Pearl Harbor Attack, "Operation Hawaii" The volume under review is a quality paperback reissue, printed on alkaline paper, of the 1993 hardcover edition that carries the same title. The book has been out of print for a number of years. Therefore, the editors and publishers should be applauded for reissuing this important scholarly treatise which documents the Japanese perspectives on the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on the American fleet and naval facilities at Pearl Harbor, and the naval and marine air stations on Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. The Pearl Harbor Papers remain as the salient English-language source on the Japanese version of the strategies, tactics, and logistics of that event which drew the United States into the global Second World War. The editors have assembled more than twenty original Japanese documents and diary extracts related to the attack and its aftermath, the Japanese carrier divisions, and Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Many of these documents, transcribed into English, are not available elsewhere, few have been published in Japanese, and many have never before been available in English.

  • Warning at Pearl Harbour: Leslie Grogan and the Tracking of The
    Warning at Pearl Harbor: Leslie Grogan and the Tracking of the Kido Butai Brian Villa and Timothy Wilford' While some aspects of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor have been studied exhaustively, it remains surprisingly true that a few elements have almost completely escaped scholarly attention. It is often obvious why these topics have been bypassed: in most cases the barest exploration reveals that they lead nowhere. Yet not all undigested bits fall in this category. A select few are both important and relatively unstudied. It was once thought that the pre- Pearl Harbor reports of Leslie Grogan, 2nd Radio Officer aboard the Matson Steamship and Navigation Company's SS Lurline (see figure 1), were unworthy of notice. Several days before Japan's Strike Force, or Kido Butai, attacked Pearl Harbor, Grogan reported that he had copied Japanese coded signals emanating from the North Pacific. It may be noted that while the United States Navy (USN) made a formal investigation of the much less credible reports of Robert Ogg, known as Seaman Z in John Toland's Infamy, there was apparently no naval investigation of Grogan's considerably more detailed reports. Nor did his account capture the attention of any of the documented Pearl Harbor inquiries, if one may judge by its omission in the thirty-nine volumes of published Pearl Harbor investigations. Moreover, Grogan's reports have not drawn any attention from the renowned expositor of the main current of Pearl Harbor historiography. Gordon Prange never mentioned Grogan's reports in any of his Pearl Harbor studies because, his principal collaborators have told us, he could attach no credence to Grogan's reports.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ODYSSEY OF AN ARCHIVES: WHAT THE HISTORY OF THE GORDON W. PRANGE COLLECTION OF JAPANESE MATERIALS TEACHES US ABOUT LIBRARIES, CENSORSHIP, AND KEEPING THE PAST ALIVE Sara Christine Snyder, MA, 2007 Directed By: Professor Marlene Mayo, Department of History In 1949, a professor of German history named Gordon W. Prange obtained a set of rare publications and censorship documents pertaining to the Allied Occupation of Japan. He shipped these materials to the University of Maryland, where for the next fifty years a parade of faculty and staff alternately neglected, protected, exploited, and cherished them. This Master’s thesis traces that history, paralleling the rising fame of the Prange Collection with developments in East Asian Studies and Prange’s interest in Pearl Harbor. It concludes with a discussion of applied concepts in archival science, arguing that the relatively late development of the American archival discipline coupled with the complicated format of Prange Collection materials meant that the archival qualities of the Collection took many years to recognize. Sources include original oral history interviews and archival research. This thesis contributes to the interdisciplinary field of archival history.

  • Under the Shadow of Stalin and Hitler (World War Ii and the Fate of the European Nations, 1939-1941)
    UNDER THE SHADOW OF STALIN AND HITLER (WORLD WAR II AND THE FATE OF THE EUROPEAN NATIONS, 1939-1941) Summary INTRODUCTION And further by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. (Eccl. 12: 12) What was exactly the Second World War? When did it start? These questions appear simple at first sight, but they have an astonishingly great variety of answers. Unlike the First World War, the second one has raised much more irreconcilable assessments both among the public and among scholars. Seven decades since the end of the Second World War are obviously not enough for reaching a generally accepted viewpoint. There is no unanimity even about the start of World War II. In Chinese and Japanese eyes it broke out on July 7, 1937, when Japan launched a large-scale invasion of China. For their part, Europeans associate the beginning of the conflict with the German assault on Poland on September 1, 1939. For the Americans the Second World War started with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, perpetrated on December 7, 1941. There is some truth in each of these interpretations, but there is also too much distortion, subjectivity and deliberate concealment of crucial facts. Practically everybody agrees that the First World War started with the war declaration of Austria-Hungary on Serbia on July 28, 1914, and the bombardment of Belgrade by the Austro-Hungarians on the following day and that it ended with the surrender of Germany under the Compiegne Armistice on November 11, 1918.
