Imperial Japanese Navy Destroyers 1919-45 (1): Minekaze to Shiratsuyu Classes (New Vanguard)
"This handy handbook perfectly complements Osprey's two-volume set on US World War II destroyers – New Vanguard 162 and 165.  And I eagerly await Stille's sequel."- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (July 2013)"This book covers the various classes from Minikaze through Shiratsuyu and include the Kamikaze, Mitsuk, Fubuki, Akatsuke, and Hatsuharu builds. Each ship class is described and a brief history of each ship in the class is provided, including its eventual fate. This is further enhanced by at least one well done photo of each class as well as the art work of Paul Wright showing some of these ships in action. It all makes for an excellent primer on these ships and is a book that every nautical enthusiast has to have on their shelves. Most highly recommended."- Scott Van Aken,Modeling Madness(April 2013)
