The Japanese Monographs, Japanese Studies on Manchuria, and Japanese Night Combat Study are three groups of publications written by Japanese officers, prepared by the Military History Section of the Headquarters, US Army Forces East, and distributed by the Office of the Chief of Military History, US Department of the Army.
The 187 monographs were prepared under the direction of General Headquarters of the U.S. Far East Command beginning in 1945.
[1] Much of the series was extensively revised, some of it completely rewritten, to correct errors of both English and fact, mainly in the period 1955-1960.
In general, these studies are superior to the monographs in organization, accuracy, and coverage.
