The study of history is more than the learning and teaching of people, places, dates and events. History is driven by the philosophical intent of man and history is created by the interaction of the doctrines of man in the pursuit of his intent. Mankind, unlike members of the animal kingdom, is a three dimensional creature capable of planning for the future, living in the present and learning from the past. On December 7, 1941, Japanese carrier-based aircraft surprised American naval forces positioned in Pearl Harbor. With this attack, the United States and Imperial Japan engaged in seven decisive doctrine battles before the war ended with the signing of the surrender papers on the deck of the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. While these seven key battles only represent a portion of the interaction between the opposing naval forces. These seven decisive doctrine battles represent the beginning and end of the war.The Doctrine of Man & The Art of War focuses on the naval war in the Pacific but the principles of the book apply to the interaction of all mankind.
