This book, written by American military historian Edward Derry, offers a comprehensive account of the development of the modern Japanese Army. It comprehensively traces the Army's origins and development, its influence as a machine for realizing Japan's regional and global ambitions, and its role as a catalyst for the militarization of the Japanese state from the mid-19th century to the end of World War II. Drawing on solid historical sources, the author explains how Japan's style of warfare, imbued with the spirit of Bushido, shaped the Army, constrained its options, influenced its decisions, and ultimately became the organization that conquered most of Asia. The author also explains how this Army's ideology and beliefs evolved in response to changes in Japanese social structure, and how this Army, in turn, had a decisive influence on the shaping of Japan's politics, society, culture, and strategy.

本书是美国军事历史学者爱德华·德瑞所著的一部全面描述近现代日本陆军发展历史的著作。它全面追溯了日本陆军的起源、发展,作为实现日本的地区和全球野心的机器的影响力,以及在19世纪中叶到第二次世界大战结束期间如何充当日本国家军事化的催化剂。在扎实的史料基础上,作者解释了饱含着武士道精神的日本战争风格是如何塑造了军队、限定了其选择空间、影响了其具体决策,以及如何使其成为征服大半个亚洲的组织。作者同时也解释了这支军队是如何随着日本社会结构的变化而不断调整其思想和信念,进而,这支军队又对塑造日本国家的政治、社会、文化和战略产生了怎样的决定性影响。
