Imperial Japanese Military English Study Manual. Some Principles of Maritime Strategy. Prewar Non-Retail Educational Edition. This is a prewar Japanese military study manual containing the original English text of. Sir Julian Corbett’s influential work, Some Principles of Maritime Strategy. The cover is titled. “English Military Text Reading Materials – Upper Volume”.

The text discusses major subjects including. The theory and nature of war. Limited and unlimited warfare. Command of the sea. Naval warfare and fleet strategy. The concentration and dispersal of naval forces. Corbett was one of Britain’s most important naval strategists. Unlike a simple English-language textbook, this volume shows how prewar Japanese military personnel studied Western strategic thought directly from its original English text. That is the real historical appeal of this item: it preserves evidence of the intellectual and educational side of the Imperial Japanese military-the study of foreign powers, their theories, and their methods of war. The surviving volume contains approximately. Only the upper volume is included. There is age-related discoloration, staining, wear, and a small tear near the lower edge of the rear cover.
