I have a couple books about the Meiji period and the Empire of Japan. Their titles are The Japanese Empire, Emperor of Japan, and Japan's Total Empire. And I have one book about the Imperial Japanese military, titled Japan's Imperial Army. The rest of my information comes from a bunch of internet sources like Wikipedia and Britannica.
Yes. There's an excellent book on the matter by Naval War College prof SCM Paine that I'd highly recommend, The Wars for Asia, 1911-1949. There's a lot of history in there that most Americans don't know.
A related book from the same author covering some of the same ground but with a broader focus is The Japanese Empire: Grand Strategy from the Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War. The latter's a good read for an Eve player because it's a good primer on the whole "what is grand strategy" question that's good for would-be professionals (Naval War College, remember) and interested amateurs alike. I can't recommend both books highly enough, they're simply excellent and cover the material without ever getting bogged down in minutiae.
