Description

[Machine Translation] The Battle of Tassafaronga, which occurred on November 30, 1942, was the last of many battles fought over the island of Guadalcanal, and was a victory of the Japanese destroyer force over the US cruiser force. While many books have been written from the Japanese side, this book, written by the gunnery officer of the USS Maury DD-401, the third destroyer in the U.S. vanguard, lifts the veil of mystery and the true nature of the night of November 30 as seen from the U.S. military's perspective. He discovers that this forgotten battle was not just another stepping stone in a long and difficult campaign, but a crucible in which the very nature of the U.S. Navy and its weapons were tested, a microcosm of what might have existed under different circumstances-a truly catastrophic defeat. The author found that this was a microcosm of what might have existed under different circumstances - a truly devastating defeat.

Description in Japanese

ルンガ沖の閃光 日本海軍駆逐艦部隊対アメリカ海軍巡洋艦部隊 / 原タイトル:The battle of Tassafaronga / ラッセル・クレンシャウ/著 岡部いさく/訳・監修 岩重多四郎/訳

1942年11月30日に生起したルンガ沖夜戦(米側呼称:タサファロンガ海戦Battle of Tassafaronga)は、ガダルカナル島をめぐって行なわれた多くの戦いの中の最後のものであり、日本海軍駆逐艦部隊が、アメリカ海軍巡洋艦部隊に勝利した戦いである。日本側からの記述になる著書の多い中、本書は米部隊の前衛駆逐艦3番艦「モーリー」(USS Maury DD‐401)の砲術士官であった著者の手により、米軍から見た11月30日夜の本質と、神秘のベールを剥がしていく。そして、この忘れられた戦闘が、長く困難な戦役における単なるひとつの踏み石ではなく、米海軍とその兵器の本質そのものが試された試練の場であったということ、それは、現実と異なる状況のもとで存在したかもしれないもの-真に破滅的な敗戦-の縮図であることを著者は発見したのである。
