From Baird Maritime
Describing Hawaii as the "Pacific Gibraltar" is a most interesting and thought provoking analogy.
If, however, you think about the Anglo-Spanish tussle over the real Gibraltar over the past three centuries, it puts the author's reasoning into perspective.
This is especially so if you consider what happened in December 1941 at Pearl Harbour. In some ways it helps to more clearly explain Japan's initial World War II strategy.
Mr Morgan has made a very thorough re-examination of Hawaiian history. He reveals the reasonably far-sighted actions of a number of American politicians and bureaucrats. Some of their decisions were, as things turned out, incredibly prescient.
A very interesting and enlightening approach to the pre-history of the Pacific part of World War II.
