When did Imperial Japan align itself with Germany and Italy? What were Hit- ler’s intentions with Japan? What was the Imperial Japanese Navy’s role in a totali- tarian xenophobic government? How did the attack on Pearl Harbor happen? One of America’s greatest military histo- rians, the late Samuel Eliot Morison, an- swered these big global questions in “The Rising Sun in the Pacific 1931-April 1942” (1948, Naval Institute Press), volume 3 in 9-volume series, “History of United States Naval Operations in World War II.” In the 1930s, under a military-controlled government supported by state-sponsored nationalist propaganda, Imperial Japan rejected international laws and treaties, annexed parts of China and invaded coun- tries and territories in Southeast Asia. The invasion in Indochina––with heavy num- bers of troops and aircraft––was underway exactly 75 years ago.
