If you've not already, read Flyboys (James Bradley). It offers some plausible insight into Japan's militarism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and does fair justice to explaining the Imperial military's mindset going into and during WW2.

It also explains why, in many ways, the west was entirely unprepared to fight the Japanese; the deployment and eventual destruction of Force Z is ample example of this.
