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