This book recounts the Pacific War from beginning to end.
After Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, it gained the upper hand in the Pacific for a time. The Allied forces of the United States, Britain, Australia, and the Netherlands were driven back, while Southeast Asia and other regions were rapidly absorbed into Japan’s “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.” But after the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, the United States launched its counteroffensive, and Japan would ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.
The “Japan’s Great Defeats” series offers a panoramic account of the Japanese army’s battles against Soviet and American forces during World War II, documenting the deadly struggles that profoundly affected the war’s outcome and the shape of the world. It is also a primer on modern warfare, with lessons that remain relevant today.
