I just began reading "PEARL HARBOR - From Infamy to Greatness" by Craig Nelson today. The book started out well and really caught my attention when on page 28 it talks about Admiral Yamamoto being a bridge player. The author doesn't get into whether he was good or bad or when he learned to play: it just simply states that he played the game. My assumption is he learned the game during the time he stayed in America. Hmmm, I wonder if he was a fan of Charles Goren?
