From the Aleutians to Australia, from the Himalayas to Pearl Harbor, there has never been a war like that between the Empire of Japan and the American allies. Unrivaled in its scope, the war in the Pacific saw a clash of cultures that reduced tropical islands to killing grounds and laid waste cities with weapons of mass destruction. It turned World War II into a global war that ended only with Japan's unconditional surrender.
"This richly illustrated and well-written account by ten knowledgeable historians offers a clear, fast-moving, and colorful image of the Pacific War. It successfully describes and analyzes the myriad
operations and underlying strategy of the great struggle to defeat Japan."--Dr. Stanley Falk, former Chief Historian, U.S. Air Force
