About this book
The book describes the Japanese naval offensive into the Indian Ocean in April 1942, which was the only major westward expansion by Japan during World War II. The raid severely damaged the Royal Navy, though Japan failed to capitalize on this strategic opportunity. Historians have considered this period one of the most dangerous moments of the war. The book provides a detailed account of this little-known but significant WWII episode.
