Description
D-Days in the Pacific tells the epic story of the campaign waged by American forces to win back the Pacific islands from Japan. Based on eyewitness accounts by the combatants, it covers the entire Pacific struggle from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The book explores the largest and last invasion in the Pacific - the invasion of Okinawa on April 1, 1945, which brought together the biggest invasion fleet ever assembled. Generously illustrated with photographs and maps, D-Days in the Pacific is a detailed account of the most savagely fought battles in American history, including Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, New Guinea, Peleliu, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.
