Bloody Sunset

The second Barrett generation has been raised entirely within the traditions of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Nicholas Barrett’s ambition to command at sea is tested as expansion in China and the movement towards war with Britain and the United States turn inherited identity into a political liability.

The family’s earlier contribution to Japan’s modernisation now binds it to an increasingly militarised state. Naval professionalism, loyalty to Japan and connections to the English-speaking world pull Barrett in incompatible directions as the regional conflict widens into the Pacific War.
