br. Dall'attacco a Pearl Harbor il 7 dicembre 1941, "un giorno segnato dall'infamia", alla spaventosa resa imposta dalla bomba atomica, l'opera in due volumi di Giuglaris spiega chiaramente quale fosse l'obiettivo del Giappone durante il secondo conflitto mondiale: imporre la propria egemonia su tutta l'Asia. L'autore costruisce una narrazione affascinante e accurata dei combattimenti tra marines e soldati imperiali, lasciando emergere un quadro preciso della politica giapponese e delle sue relazioni con i vari paesi dell'Estremo Oriente. Basato quasi interamente su fonti nipponiche, questo libro permette di comprendere sia le motivazioni che spinsero il Giappone ad attaccare gli USA, sia le modalità strategiche di conduzione della guerra.
