For the first time in English, a concise but fact-packed account of the organization, equipment, and all operations of Japan's small but elite wartime parachute forces.Correcting and amplifying previous accounts based on wartime intelligence, it traces the Imperial Army's Raiding Regiments and the Imperial Navy's parachute-trained Yokosuka 1st & 3rd Special Naval Landing Forces from the first trials units, through their successful assaults in early 1942, to the last desperate battles and raids of 1944–45.Gordon Rottman and Akira Takizawa's text is illustrated with rare photographs, and meticulously reconstructed color artwork of the men and their gear.

Expert author and tactician Gordon L Rottman & Akira Takizawa provide the first English-language study of Japanese Army and Navy tank units, their tactics and how they were deployed in action.The Japanese army made extensive use of its tanks in the campaigns in China in the 1930s, and it was in these early successes that the Japanese began to develop their own unique style of tank tactics. From the steam-rolling success of the Japanese as they invaded Manchuria until the eventual Japanese defeat, Rottman provides a battle history of the Japanese tank units as they faced the Chinese, the Russians, the British and the Americans.
