Description
From the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, this superbly illustrated history explores the Pacific War in its entirety. It examines the whirlwind Japanese victories of 1941-42, and how the Allies, specifically the US, organized a counterattack. Full-color maps follow armies' movements, and artworks display the uniforms, armored vehicles, aircraft, and ships used in the campaign.
