If you want to just get a taste of imperial Japan and some pretty interesting firsthand accounts, check out "inventing Japan" by Ian Buruma.
https://www.amazon.com/Inventing-Japan-1853-1964-Library-Chronicles/dp/0812972864
If you want to get a bigger view of the condition japan was in before beginning their empire building, check out "Peasants, Rebels, Women, and Outcastes: The Underside of Modern Japan" by Mikiso Hane
https://www.amazon.com/Peasants-Rebels-Women-Outcastes-Underside/dp/0742525252
If you want an even bigger view of how and why Japan was treated differently from Germany after the war check out, "the wages of guilt" by Ian Buruma
https://www.amazon.com/Wages-Guilt-Memories-Germany-Japan-ebook/dp/B00YLQU0GS
I would recommend these three books if you want to get a better idea of the everyday life of what everyday life was like pre-war, mid-war, post-war.
If you want to get into the psychology of Japanese people, I would recommend "the Japanese self in cultural context" by Takie Sugiyama Lebra
https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Self-Cultural-Logic/dp/0824828402/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=the+Japanese+self&qid=1571829682&sr=8-12
Another interesting book to add after reading these would be, "multiethnic Japan" by John Lie. It points out the ripples of what Japan's empire building brought.
https://www.amazon.com/Multiethnic-Japan-John-Lie/dp/0674013581/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=multiethnic+Japan&qid=1571829847&sr=8-1

If you're interested in the topic of Japan's recovery post-WW2 you should check out Jared Diamond's new book Upheaval.
He discusses pre-modern Japan in one chapter and post-WW2 Japan in another at length.
Specifically he was referring to US naval power. In a previous episode he mentioned by name that "Jane's Fighting Ships" was source for his information. Pretty expensive.
I just googled and found this site which only begs more questions. How is North Korea rated to have double America's naval firepower. Anybody know whats up with this?
If you just go to Wikipedia you can sort by descending and see the US compared to the world total which is what Dan was talking about.
If you want a short introduction or a documentary its all up to you. But Luther is a 10 0000 word journey. A journey into a unique insight into the world that were before us, and indeed shaped the world that is today. Brand Luther is also a start.
E.H. Gombrich- "A Little History of the World"
I used use chapters of this book as supplementals when I taught middle school history. I really like it. I think it keeps to the subject, is well written, and is accessible to children. Only issue is that it's eurocentric, but you can't win them all.
I've been re-listening Blueprint and I believe at least these two books have been mentioned: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2815620-now-it-can-be-told and https://www.amazon.com/Price-Glory-Verdun-1916/dp/0140170413
Sorry for lazy linking, just googled and pasted the first thing that came up :)
Read or listen to this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Command-Control-Damascus-Accident-Illusion/dp/0143125788
It's more complex than that but not simplistic at all.
I suggest this book
https://www.amazon.com/War-Peace-Rise-Fall-Empires/dp/0452288193?keywords=War+peace+and+war&qid=1537433428&sr=8-1&ref=mp_s_a_1_1

For ww2, Antony Barbour is one of my favorite authors, and I'd recommend his books on dday and Stalingrad. For ancient history, get the Gallic wars by Caesar. He goes into extremely fine detail about all the major battles of the Gallic wars. I'd recommend getting a version that's both in Latin and translated. This is the one I have, it has Latin on the left and English on the right, so if you're confused by what its saying, just directly translate the Latin. Caesar was both a strategic and tactical genius, and was able to put that down on paper for us.
