Sato's handwritten notes, along with two post-war essays, reveal the true history behind the operation and shed light on the internal conflicts and strategic failures that have long been debated by historians. ✔ This book also includes a scholarly analysis by Sato's great-nephew, renowned historian Professor Akihito Sato of Nagoya University, providing context about Sato's personality, background, and the infamous "Chōkō-fu Incident." The collection is a vital resource for military history enthusiasts and those interested in Japan's WWII military strategies and internal debates.
