About

America's greatest error in the submarine war against Japan and the effect it has had on Japanese-American relations ever since. On 1 April 1945, the USS Queenfish sank the Awa maru, sending more than two thousand men, women, and children to their deaths, despite the United States's guarantee of safe passage to the ship. Washington promised to indemnify Tokyo for destroying the passenger-cargo vessel, yet not one penny was paid to the Japanese after the war, and Americans soon forgot about the tragedy. For the Japanese, however, it became a symbol of their victimization in and recovery from the Pacific war.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.
