Untitled[edit]

My father had a copy of this book that was marked as belonging to a ship's onboard library. I found it about 50 years ago while digging through some of his old Navy belongings.

I was going to use it as a reference in a high school history term paper I did in 1962, but the teacher told me I had to stick to books in the HS Library.

In 1969-71 I was in the Marine Corps in SE Asia. While assigned to a ship for transport I found a copy of the same book in the ship's library and read several pages but didn't have time to check it out and really get into it.

From late 1971-1975 I was assigned to the Marine Barracks at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where once again I found a copy of that same book (These were all English translations BTW) in the Base Library. It hadn't been signed out since 1945.

Obviously the book was written , but it's possible the name was transcribed incorrectly by the copywriter. I know the name on the spine of the book I intended to use for the term paper was definitely Kinoaki Matsuo. On the front cover the title (I assumed it was the title) was embossed in red in Japanese characters and I remember for certain it started with "Three Star" and the Japanese title of the book was "A Three Star Alliance and a United States Japanese War."
