Published just a few months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the book is essentially a warning of what is to come in the war against the Axis powers. "Japan, like Italy, is militarily allied with Germany..." "Japan's New Order is both opportunistic and elastic. It will continue to be extended just as far in any direceition, north, south or west, as Japanese leaders believe they can push it."
The last sentence of this book: "The only check to Japanese ambitions is Japan's capacity to carry her schemes into effect." Light wear to edges and folds. Toning to endpapers. A clean copy with no signs of previous ownership.
