BRITAINS SECRET WAR AGAINST JAPAN, 19371945

This book provides the first comprehensive account of the pivotal role that intelligence played in shaping Britains conduct of its campaigns against the Japanese at a multitude of levels strategic, operational and tactical.

The British held an erroneous view of Japanese military capabilities prior to 1941. This was largely due to the high level of secrecy surrounding Japans war planning and the absence of prior engagements with the Japanese armed forces. The fall of Fortress Singapore in February 1942 dispelled any notion that the Japanese were incapable of challenging the West, and British military officials had to acknowledge the fact that their forces in the Far East were inadequate. Here, Douglas Ford explains how Britains defence establishment drew upon the Allied experiences in the Asia-Pacific theatres, and learned how to fight the Imperial Japanese Navy, Army and their respective air services. By the closing stages of the Pacific War, the effective use of intelligence on the strategy, tactics and morale of Japans armed forces played a key role in enabling the British to conduct a successful war effort in the Far East.

This book will be of much interest to students of the Second World War, intelligence studies, strategic studies and military history in general.

Douglas Ford is a Lecturer in Military History at Salford University. He holds a PhD in International History from the LSE (2002).
