In mode military literature, there is no more peicious theme than that the day of the infantryman has passed us by, overwhelmed by increasingly lethal technology. Japan''''s Battle of Okinawa takes us into the world of the mode infantryman and illustrates in vivid detail Clausewitz dictum that combat is to war as cash payment is to commerce.
Dr. Thomas M. Huber''''s work is unique: for the first time in English, the Battle of Okinawa is analyzed from the vantage point of the Japanese defenders. Basing his work on extensive research in Japanese military archives, Dr. Huber affords the reader a view of the Okinawa battles literally from "the other side of the hill."
