Published in 2006 and quickly out of print, the first edition of "Samouraï sur porte-avions" deserved to be revisited. The author now presents a substantially expanded and greatly enriched second edition. The text has indeed been considerably supplemented by the contribution and study of numerous documents — both Japanese and American — that were not available for the first edition.
