	Magic and Lightning - March 2006
		Yamamoto’s goal at Pearl Harbor was annihilation of the US Pacific Fleet, achievement of which would have decided the outcome of the war “on the first day,” wrote his biographer, Hiroyuki Agawa.

		From then on, Yamamoto was just as concerned with technology as he was with tactics, and he was instrumental in shaping the Japanese Navy into the sophisticated fighting force it was by the time of Pearl Harbor.
