Until its loss in World War II, Japan had not known failure in centuries of warfare. This record of the conflict goes beyond mere description to illuminate why Japan instigated a conflict with the only nation--the United States--capable of defeating her, as well as the crucial shifts in the nature of naval power and strategy that occurred during the fighting. Set off on the road to war, analyzing the effects of the first world conflict; Japan's policies in China; the first victories, as Japan surges through Asia; the great battles of Midway and Guadacanal; and the final defeat, with the devastating launch of the first nuclear weapons.

The Clyde has played a major part in warfare in the 20th century. Its most obvious contribution was as the main source of shipping which was supplied to the Royal Navy and the merchant navy. Many of its other stories are less familiar, not least the actual conflict that took place against German U-boats not far off the mainland. Alastair Alexander has dug deep into the war records, official collections and the museum archives to unearth a fascinating story of naval warfare on this great river and the west coast. Starting in 1914, he takes the reader through the First World War and the run up to the Second World War with detailed looks at the German U-boats that attempted to break the sea defences and sink British shipping. UC-27, UC-75, U-32, U-33 (sunk by HMS Gleaner in February 1940), U-218 are all detailed. He also list the losses to British shipping on the Clyde during both World Wars and gives a full account of HMS Gleaner's role in the U-33 incident. The Enigma decoding machine is also recalled and the special part that a salvage operation on a sunken German U-boat in the Clyde played in the role of that remarkable instrument. HMS Hood, RMS Queen Elizabeth and Admiral Karl Donitz also feature in this highly illustrated contribution to wartime history. The accessible layout, the previously unpublished photographs and the newly revealed historical information make this an essential read for naval historians, students and teachers alike.

ALTHOUGH the Allied Nations have been at war with Japan in the Pacific and the Far East since 1941, and a state of war has existed between China and Japan since the Japanese attack in Manchuria in 1931, little genuine interest has been taken in this theatre of war, and for the most part only utterances of ill-founded statements have been made to the effect that the Japanese are a race of copyists and that "... we will soon knock hell out of them." With this lack of general interest it is perhaps not surprising that attempts to teach recognition of Japanese aircraft have proved extremely difficult.

This is the story of the British breakthrough begun on 30 July by 11th Armoured Division, Guards Armoured Division, and the infantry of 15th (Scottish) Division. This was initially opposed by 21. Panzerdivision, and later by the Germans' most powerful formations in the west: 9. SS-Panzer `Hohenstaufen' and 10. SS-Panzer `Frundsberg'. Under the hot summer sun, thrust met with counter thrust in a rapidly changing mobile battle, culminating in the August struggle for mastery of Perrier Ridge and Estry, and the Germans' headlong retreat from Normandy.

As you read through "Rodney & Nelson," I hope you agree with us that it maintains the standards we've set with previous titles in the series. You'll note, however, that the "balance" of the book is somewhat different from our previous issues. For one, there is far more text. Further, we have included an extensive section on the wartime service of the two vessels. There are also con¬siderably more on-board photos.
