Summary: Needs to be replaced by the 1945 edition.
Comment: Although its not widely known, the October 1944 edition of the Handbook on Japanese Military Forces was completely revised, updated and lengthened in September of 1945 with more accurate information after the war ended.

Rating: 4
Summary: The definitive work on the Japanese military
Comment: While not as comprehensive as its companion volume on the German military forces, it is still the most complete work on the Japanese military you can find in the West. Although prepared by the US War Dept., it is not at all the dry treatise one expects from government printing offices, but a highly readable work encompassing every little detail like tactics, uniform, training, equipment (lots of it) and everything you could possibly want to know. The book, though, could have used an index.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent one volume work.
Comment: This reprint of a restricted 1944 War Department Publication is a companion to the Handbook on German Military Forces, but necessarily smaller as much less was known about the forces of the Empire at that time. It is an admirable work nonetheless, containing everything of possible use to an Army officer facing the enemy: organization, tactics, weapons and equipment, uniforms and insignia, extensively illustrated and with a glossary of military terms and map signs. An essential resource for WWII buffs, writers and readers of military history, collectors, and modellers.
