These volumes give a detailed account of the operations of the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. The present volume, The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal, volume 26 of the series, describes the Japanese Navy's role in the campaign to gain control over the Indonesian archipelago - at that time the largest transoceanic landing operation in the military history of the world. It includes, among others, the first complete Japanese analysis of the Battle of the Java Sea, a much-debated battle that ended disastrously for the Allies and opened the way to Java for the Japanese." -- Publisher description Notes Originally published in Japanese by Asagumo Shimbunsha [Asagumo Newspaper Inc.], Tokyo, 1969 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Translated from the Japanese Subject Japan.
