Superficial Insights into the Pacific War

Peter Harmsen's "Storm Clouds over the Pacific, 1931-41" offers an overview of events leading to World War II in Asia. The analysis feels superficial and biased, often portraying Japan as the sole aggressor without exploring deeper motivations.

The narrator does a great job of bringing the story to life with an engaging performance, but his pronunciation of Japanese names was often disastrous, which detracted from the listening experience.

Though it blends strategic analysis with human stories, the book ultimately provides an engaging but limited perspective on the roots of the Pacific War.

The narrator read with such immersion and feeling, and the book is very well written. It's not a typical 'dry' history book but one written with a vivid, engaging style that makes it enjoyable despite the heavy subject matter of war. In many ways, it reminds me of John Toland's The Rising Sun, as Black Snow brings history to life in a way that is both entertaining and deeply immersive. The author's ability to capture the human side of events makes this an extraordinary listening experience.

Detailed but Biased Towards Yamamoto

The Book:

"Shattered Sword" provides an extremely detailed account of the Battle of Midway, debunking several myths with strong, irrefutable arguments. The authors have conducted meticulous research, allowing readers to follow the Japanese perspective just before and throughout the entire battle. This perspective is particularly rewarding to experience in an English-language book, as it offers a unique insight into the Japanese strategy and mindset. However, the portrayal of Yamamoto is problematic. The authors incorrectly depict him as a driving force behind Japan's declaration of war against the USA, while in reality, Yamamoto was opposed to the war both before and during. There are also subtle sentences that seem intended to diminish Yamamoto's competence and reputation, which may color some interpretations.

The Narration:

The narrator's voice is pleasant to listen to, and he reads with such passion that it adds excitement to the story. However, his pronunciation of Japanese words, expressions, and names is utterly incomprehensible. It's frankly unacceptable; there's no reason to have a narrator who cannot pronounce Japanese correctly in a book of this nature. Even if the narrator isn't naturally proficient in Japanese, the book's editor should have provided phonetic guidance. A competent editor would never have approved these pronunciations. Whether this is a sign of a careless editor or a general American lack of knowledge or interest, I leave unsaid. The narration's shortcomings do not entirely overshadow the engaging content, but they are a significant drawback for those interested in an authentic portrayal of the events.
