Yamamoto's English ability

Torvald Von Mansee · 01-09-12, 11:12 PM

Isoroku Yamamoto went to Harvard and was stationed at the Embassy of Japan in D.C. Clearly, he spoke, read/wrote English. Anyone ever hear any recordings of him speaking English? I wonder how well he spoke it.

Actually, I would like to hear any recording of him speaking. I don't think I'v ever heard one.

I haven't, and a quick search didn't turn up anything.

It's too bad he was killed. He could have written a great book.
