Description
Twilight of the Gods: War in the Western Pacific, 1944-1945 The final volume of Ian W. Toll's Pacific War Trilogy, this book brings to life the harrowing last year of World War II in the Pacific. The Battle of the Philippine Sea marked a pivotal moment in the Pacific War, with the capture of the Mariana Islands and the destruction of Japanese carrier airpower. The war had entered its endgame, with the balance of power increasingly lopsided between the US and Japan. Toll's narrative covers the final year of the war, from the Honolulu Conference to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He reconstructs the battles, grand strategic decisions, and naval logistics that enabled the Allied victory in the Pacific, drawing on a wealth of rich archival sources and new material. The book also explores the Japanese and American home fronts, taking the reader into the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo. With gripping accounts of combat in the air, at sea, and on the beaches, Toll sheds light on the key events and decisions that led to the Allied victory in the Pacific.
