Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the strategic planning and operational execution of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the 1942 campaign, particularly focusing on the Battle of Midway. Despite initial successes in the Pacific, the Japanese Navy's failure to achieve its objectives is analyzed through the lens of operational art and design. The analysis highlights the cultural and leadership factors that contributed to flawed planning and execution. The author provides insights into how contemporary operational planning concepts can reinterpret historical events, offering lessons for modern military strategy. Intended for military historians and strategists, the book provides a detailed examination of naval warfare, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and comprehensive planning in achieving strategic goals.
