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 sheer scale of manpower and resources by the warring sides was unparalleled and significantly altered the course of world history. It also laid the foundation for the United States to become the naval military hegemon for the next six decades. From then on, the U.S. military presence spread to every corner of the globe. This book is dedicated to a comprehensive and faithful record of that history six decades ago, and serves as a tribute to 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 took five years to compile, written in collaboration by top military experts. This series provides a panoramic description of the origins, development, and conclusion of the Pacific War.
