Description
John C. McManus presents an epic history of the US Army in the Pacific War, from Pearl Harbor to Makin Island.
The narrative spans nearly two years of punishing combat as the Army transformed from an undertrained garrison force into an unstoppable juggernaut, and America evolved from an inward-looking nation into a global superpower. At the heart of this story are four generals: Douglas MacArthur, Robert Eichelberger, Joe Stillwell, and Walter Krueger.
Through their experiences, McManus sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of Army soldiers in the Pacific War, while also exploring the complex personalities and rivalries that shaped the war effort. A gripping and detailed account of a pivotal moment in American history.
