Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked up this book while visiting Pearl Harbor. I have read many books on the Pacific War, and while this book may have lacked intricate details about events in the Pacific Theater of operation, one must remember that this is a SINGLE volume. In that capacity, in fills the niche quite nicely. If you are looking for a lavishly illustrated book on the Pacific War, from the very beginning to the very end, this is it!

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 Pacific is 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.
