Story
Following the disastrous Java Sea campaign, the Allies went on the offensive in the Pacific in a desperate attempt to halt the Japanese forces that were rampaging across the region. With the conquest of Australia a very real possibility, the stakes were high. Their target: the Japanese-held Soloman Islands, in particular the southern island of Guadalcanal. Hamstrung by arcane pre-war thinking and a bureaucratic mind-set, the US Navy had to adapt on the fly in order to compete with the mighty Imperial Japanese Navy, whose ingenuity had fostered the creation of its Pacific empire.

Story
China is growing increasingly bellicose. From massive practice runs for an invasion of Taiwan, to deadly encroachments on the sovereign territorial waters of the Philippines, to reckless encounters at sea and in the air aimed to intimidate American and Japanese forces operating in international waters and air space, it seems war might erupt at any moment. For decades China has been "hiding its strength and biding its time" as former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping counseled. No longer. Under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the People's Republic of China has engaged in a massive naval, air...

Story
The idea of the sword-wielding samurai, beholden to a strict ethical code and trained in deadly martial arts, dominates popular conceptions of the samurai. As early as the late 17th century, they were heavily featured in literature, art, theater, and even comedy. This book gives listeners access to the real samurai as they lived, fought, and served. Much as they capture the modern imagination, the samurai commanded influence over the politics, arts, philosophy, and religion of their own time, and controlled Japan from the 14th century until their demise in the mid-19th century.
