Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "This book is a military history about Battle of Leyte. The characteristic of the book describs Japan and U.S naval operation in the Battle contrastively by focusing on two commanders Takeo, KURIBAYAHI in the Imperial Japanese navy and "Bull" Halsey in the US navy in the Battle. By doing so, the author also tried to clarify difference in mental structure between American and Japanese." - Masuko Takehisa
  • Summary, etc. - この本は、レイテ海戦に関する戦記である。本書の特徴は、レイテ海戦の際の日米の二人の指揮官、栗田健男およびブル・ハルゼーに着目し、レイテ海戦における日米の動きを対比させながら描いている。それによって、本書はまた、日本人とアメリカ人の精神構造の違いも明らかにしようとした作品である。- Masuko Takehisa
