Trigger: Japanese military strategies
For: Historians and military strategy enthusiasts
Key quote: “The Japanese army preferred direct assault after the German fashion, but the Americans flowed into our weaker points and submerged us, just as water seeks the weakest entry to sink a ship.”
The host mentions 'The Conquering Tide' to illustrate the Japanese perspective on the Allied leapfrogging strategy during World War II. Ian W. Toll's insights provide a deeper understanding of the Japanese military's feelings about their defensive strategies and the consequences of the Allies' tactics.
