WWII Japan Study of U.S. War Resources Industry Strategy Book 1942 For Sale

DescriptionDescriptionThis is an original Japanese wartime edition of Analysis of American War Resources, published in 1942.The book is based on a study by American researcher Brooks Emeny and was translated into Japanese during the Pacific War.What makes this book especially interesting is its perspective.It does not examine the United States mainly through politics or culture.Instead, it asks a much more practical wartime question:How much power did the United States actually have to sustain a long war?The book analyzes subjects such as:* food resources
* mineral resources
* industrial raw materials
* production capacity
* supply and demand
* strategic materials
* comparisons of national resources among major powersTables and numerical data are used throughout the book.In other words, this is a study of the United States through the resources that made modern warfare possible.Studying the Enemy in 1942This Japanese edition was published in 1942, after Japan and the United States had already gone to war.For readers in wartime Japan, questions such as these had enormous importance:How much oil, metal, food, and industrial capacity did America possess?What resources were abundant?What resources were limited?How capable was the United States of continuing a prolonged industrial war?This was not a secret Japanese military document, but it provides a fascinating look at how wartime Japan attempted to understand the economic and material strength of its principal enemy.The Hidden Weapons Behind WarWar is usually remembered through aircraft, tanks, ships, and soldiers.But none of those can exist without oil, steel, copper, food, factories, transportation, and industrial production.Those resources were the hidden foundation of military power.This book examines that foundation.Seen today, it offers an unusual historical perspective:America’s own resource data, translated and studied in Japan while the two countries were at war.Publication InformationJapanese title: Analysis of American War Resources
