This review is from: Handbook on Japanese Military Forces (Hardcover)
Although its not widely known, the October 1944 edition of the Handbook on Japanese Military Forces was completely revised, updated and lengthened in September of 1945 with more accurate information after the war ended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent one volume work.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook on Japanese Military Forces (Paperback)
This reprint of a restricted 1944 War Department Publication
is a companion to the Handbook on German Military Forces,
but necessarily smaller as much less was known about the forces
of the Empire at that time. It is an admirable work nonetheless,
containing everything of possible use to an Army officer facing
the enemy: organization, tactics, weapons and equipment, uniforms
and insignia, extensively illustrated and with a glossary of
military terms and map signs. An essential resource for WWII
buffs, writers and readers of military history, collectors, and modellers.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive work on the Japanese military,
By W. Schlagel (Fremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook on Japanese Military Forces (Paperback)
While not as comprehensive as its companion volume on the German military forces, it is still the most complete work on the Japanese military you can find in the West. Although prepared by the US War Dept., it is not at all the dry treatise one expects from government printing offices, but a highly readable work encompassing every little detail like tactics, uniform, training, equipment (lots of it) and everything you could possibly want to know. The book, though, could have used an index.
