The Rise and Reluctance of a Naval Commander

In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. 

Yamamoto was villanized as the arch-enemy of the American forces in the Pacific, and to be fair, he was their enemy. 

But there is actually much more to the story. Yamamoto was the loudest voice against going to war with the United States and was one of only a few officials in the Japanese leadership who spent time in the United States and understood the country. 

Learn more about Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, his rise and tragic end on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
