Features: This is a history of blood and thunder, and one of the most brutal battles in human history to take place at sea. The human and material resources invested by the warring parties were unparalleled, and it greatly altered the course of world history. It also laid the foundation for the United States to become the naval military hegemon for the past six decades. From then on, the U.S. military presence spread to every corner of the globe. This book is dedicated to comprehensively and faithfully recording the history of sixty years ago, and commemorating all the brave souls who sacrificed their lives for the cause of human justice and peace in that war. The "History of the Pacific War" series, which took five years to complete, was written in collaboration with top military experts. This series provides a panoramic description of the origins, development, and end of the Pacific War.
