About This Novel
In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Honolulu residents who were accustomed to military exercises woke up to the noisy sound of artillery fire as usual. They did not realize that a magnificent symphony that staked the fate of the country had already been played... The arrogant Japan declared an undeclared war on the United States. The two giant ships of Pearl Harbor soared into flames, and the unsinkable legend disappeared into the towering black smoke. The Japanese army then became overwhelming. The overwhelming sun flag became the messenger of death on the vast ocean, and the Japanese soldiers were regarded as monsters by their opponents, leaving behind the myth of invincibility. However, the Japanese army's "Victory Disease" gave the US military an opportunity. The Japanese fleet tried to lure the main force of the U. S. Military into a trap and annihilate it in one fell swoop, completely unaware that the movement had been grasped by the U. S. Military. In the end, all the participating aircraft carriers were buried at the bottom of the sea at Midway Island, and the strategic initiative was handed over to others. From Pearl Harbor to Midway, unprecedented fierce naval battles shook the foundations of the participating nations. The battle situation in these six months not only determined the direction of the Pacific War, but also affected the entire situation of World War II. If the balance of history moves even a little bit, the world we know will be completely different. "The Burning Ocean" writes about the gripping initial stage of the Pacific War. From it, we can not only appreciate the strategizing behind Roosevelt and Churchill's chatting and laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku's arrogant gamble, but also the despair of the pilots who narrowly escaped death when faced with the relics of their fallen comrades, and the despair of the fleet commander when he received unfavorable information just after issuing an order. When we rise and fall with the characters in the book, history is no longer out of reach.
