In December 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, plunging the United States into World War II. In the months that followed, Japan's forces swept across the Far East, conquering vast territories and inflicting heavy losses on the Allied powers.

Japan's early victories were stunning. In the first six months of 1942, they conquered Burma, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines. They also launched a series of air raids on Australia and New Zealand.

Japan's success was due to a number of factors, including their superior military training, their mastery of air power, and their willingness to take risks. However, Japan's ultimate defeat was also due to a number of factors, including the United States' industrial might, the Allies' code-breaking efforts, and the resilience of the Chinese people.

Japan Runs Wild is a meticulously researched and highly readable account of Japan's stunning victories and ultimate defeat in the Far East during World War II. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating period of history.
