The book Target Tokyo by James M. Scott is a good historical read.
Thanks! The raid served as a nice big punch in their nose. It also must have sobered them up about their prospects for defeat. All their cities were on or near the coastlines, while most of ours were in the eastern half of this continent. The Japanese attacks on the US Dec 7th didn’t make sense then and can’t be made to make sense — they were motivated by their own arrogance. FAFO, exhibit A. :^)
