It would have been easy, for example, to bring the Japanese battle fleet to Hawaii or even to the American seaboard. I might even have conveyed whole Japanese Army corps to San Francisco and allowed them to overrun the Pacific slope. But to do so would have been to expose the narrative to the well-merited ridicule of informed critics...
