The guys get into the setting for the Japanese operation, the where, why, when and how and then take a look at the forces that will be opposing one another in the oil-rich Dutch region. Seth and Jon dig into ABDA, its formation and its fustercluckery as Wavell takes command of the so-called coalition to hopefully hang on to the DEI. Finally, the guys look at the early Japanese invasions, the defense of the region and lead up to the assault on the all-important oil fields of Palembang---where we leave you hanging. Also! We are taking Q&amp;A questions for our mid-season Q&amp;A in what has become a time honored UHOTPW holiday tradition—Q&amp;A! We will be taking questions beginning on November 14 and will stop on November 28. Get em in! ATTN!! Make sure and preorder Seth and Bill&#39;s book, The Killing Sea: The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal that Turned the Tide of the Pacific War.
