Looking back at the month probably the single best book I read with a military slant was Park Chung Hee and Modern Korea: The Roots of Militarism, 1866–1945, where the author was having a hard time writing a conventional biography of Park as a young man so he wrote a book that ranged over issues of Korean identity, Japanese imperialism and how the Japanese army was probably harder on its officers than its enlisted men!
On the other hand while I found the first half of Japan's Imperial Army very enlightening, as learned how a bunch of disgruntled traditional warriors turned themselves in a Western-style military, the half post-Russo-Japanese War seemed a little meh; familiarity breeds contempt I suppose.
