Imperial Japanese Navy Destroyers 1919–45 (2): Asashio to Tachibana Classes (New Vanguard Book 202) Kindle Edition

I wanted the paperback edtion, not the kindle, please fix order.

Excellent second volume companion to the first volume of this two-book series. As with the first volume it repeats some information that is available in other books on the subject but does add some new thinking and technical details. Contains a lot in photos (most in black & white).

The second of this two part work on Japanese Destroyers follows the pattern established in Volume 1. There is a short reintroduction of design principles involved followed by specific details of development and modifications of each of the individual classes. Most valuable is a short history of each ship in the class. For those reading larger works on battles and campaigns having pictures and/or drawings of the destroyers mentioned is an invaluable contribution to understanding how these ships contributed to the Imperial Japanese Navy in WWII.If the reader is looking for in depth technical description of the ships and systems this book will likely be a bit of a disappointment but it's quick reference to all classes in both volumes is a valuable addition to any library of naval warfare or the war in the Pacific.

Good book in the Osprey series.

I spend a lot of time rereading sections of this book. The book is an excellent overview of the later Japanese DDs complete with very informative pictures and drawings.

An excellent addition to the series.

Great book very well written

Wer von Band 1 der japanischen Zerstörer angetan war, wird Band 2 nicht missen mögen.Mark Stille gelingt es wieder seine Leser mit sachlichen Darstellungen und guten Analysen zu fesseln. Der Informationsgehalt dieser Broschüren ist enorm, die Fotos sind gut ausgewählt und die Zeichnungen und Artists Impressions einzigartig.Alle späten Zerstörertypen der IJN werden dargestellt, sogar die 1-Schiff SHIMAKAZE-Klasse, welche häufig den Kageros zugeordnet wird, ist dargestellt.Was will man mehr.Erneut kann man sagen Lesenswert und informtiv

Soddisfatto di questa seconda parte come lo sono stato della prima. Elenco, caratteristiche e attività delle navi prese in esame il tutto narrato in modo esauriente e chiaro.

Love war ships.

Sehr informatives Werk zu den Flotten Zerstörern der Kaiserlich Japanischen Marine mit sämtlichen technischen Daten und dem Geschichtlichen Hintergrund.Schön ausgeführte Farbzeichnungen.
