Description
The Fleet at Flood Tide: America at Total War in the Pacific, 1944-1945 by James D. Hornfischer In November 1944, the United States launched a thunderous assault on the Mariana Islands, crossing the threshold of total war and forever changing the art of modern conflict. This gripping narrative tells the story of the climactic end of the Pacific War, drawing on extensive research in newly discovered primary sources. From the epic seaborne invasions of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam to the stunning aerial battles of the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, Hornfischer brings to life the campaign that was the fulcrum of the drive to compel Tokyo to surrender. With a close focus on high commanders, front-line combatants, and ordinary people, American and Japanese alike, this book offers a fresh perspective on world conflict and cautions for humanity that can be pondered far beyond the conclusion of World War II. With over 120 dramatic photographs and original maps, The Fleet at Flood Tide is a masterful account of one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
