War in the Pacific Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay The Story of the Bitter Struggle in the Pacific Theater of World War II Featuring Commissioned Photographs of Artifacts fr

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. War in the Pacificis the collective effort of ten military historians. All ground, sea, and air operations are integrated into the discussion of each campaign or battle. Included in the ground campaigns are the Japanese invasion of China, jungle warfare in New Guinea, the retaking of the Philippines, and the island campaigns of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Chapters on naval and air engagements at Pearl Harbor, Midway, and Leyte Gulf complement discussions of air supply routes over the Himalayas and the bombing of Japan. Color maps clearly detail each campaign, showing the movement of forces throughout the entire engagement. Photos selected from the archives of six countries, along with more than one hundred color illustrations of weaponry, uniforms, and memorabilia, highlight the narrative.Nalty, Bernard C. is the author of 'War in the Pacific Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay The Story of the Bitter Struggle in the Pacific Theater of World War II Featuring Commissioned Photographs of Artifacts fr', published 1999 under ISBN 9780806131993 and ISBN 0806131993.
