The American commanders conducting the war against Japan in World War II faced unique challenges. Despite being ordered to fight a limited war until Germany could be defeated, U.S. naval and ground forces used their limited resources to launch an aggressive campaign to win back the Pacific islands occupied by the Japanese. Inter-service rivalry, the vast distances to be covered, and a difficult climate continually hampered operations against an overextended but dedicated enemy. Military professionals examine in chapter-by-chapter fashion the evolution of the Pacific campaign, backed up by hard data and keen insights, revealing aspects of the war that will surprise many readers.
