| Abstract
|
:
|
"In 1945, with her fleet destroyed and her armies beaten, the only things that stood between Japan and an Allied invasion were the numerous coastal-defense positions that surrounded the islands. This is the first book to take a detailed look at the Japanese Home Island fortifications that were constructed during 1941-1945. Utilizing diagrams, specially commissioned artwork, and sources previously unavailable in English, Steven J. Zaloga examines these defenses in the context of a possible Allied invasion, shedding new light on one of the greatest 'what if?' scenarios of World War II"--Page 4 of cover.
