Bywater, Hector C. (1884–1940)

A British naval corespondent, author of many books on naval affairs and a friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bywater caused a sensation with the publication of this novel. The story's feasibility and likelihood were rubbished by Bywater's contemporaries and the navies of America and Great Britain alike. After all it was a bit far-fetched! The Japanese striking a surprise blow on the American Pacific Fleet, attacking the Philippines, someone from the Philippines taking command of the American counter-attack and island hopping towards the Japanese mainland, a naval battle in mid-ocean the turning point of the war, American industrial power eventually redressing the naval balance.
