Download from RapidGatorThe seizure of the Hawaiian Islands, America's main outpost in the Pacific, was to have been the most ambitious and far-reaching Japanese operation of World War I. Hawaii Under the Rising Sun, the hitherto untold story of Japanese planning for invasion and occupation, is compelling reading for those interested in modern Japan, World War II, Hawaii, and the experiences of Japanese Americans, as well as for anyone who appreciates an absorbing narrative.
Conceived by officers on the staff of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Combined Fleet commander, the invasion of Hawaii was seen as a supreme blow that in one stroke would preclude an American counteroffensive, force President Roosevelt to the peace table, and guarantee Japan's future security in the Pacific Basin. The Combined Fleet's struggle between December 1941 and May 1942 to convince the army and navy general staffs of the necessity to invade Hawaii reveals much about the formulation of war strategy and problems of interservice relations. The circumstances under which Japan's armed forces agreed to undertake, and then abandoned, an assault on Hawaii sheds new fight on the ill-fated Midway operation.
While the military planned for an invasion, civilians prepared scenarios of Hawaii under Japanese rule. Special concerns were restructuring the economy, reforming the society, and laying the basis for a new political administration. Revival of the Hawaiian monarchy, the identification of potential collaborators, and the re-education of Americans of Japanese ancestry were among the topics discussed. Recommendations for Hawaii's anticipated role in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere provide an illuminating glimpse of Japan's perceptions of the postwar Pacific Basin.
This book is the product of John Stephan's extensive research in Japan's military archives, as well as in prewar and wartime Japanese literature about Hawaii, including Hawaii's Japanese-language press. Professor Stephan also interviewed former Imperial Navy officers and Japanese wartime authors. With Hawaii Under the Rising Sun, scholar-writer John Stephan introduces a new and important field of historical research while correcting commonly held misconceptions about Japan's intentions in the Pacific Basin during World War II. This is first-rate history, superbly told with grace and clarity.
