A look at the events leading up to Japan’s surrender in World War
II, from the New York Times–bestselling author of Engineers of
Victory. By the spring of 1943, Japan had a tight grip on the
countries and territories of East Asia and the Western Pacific. But
the Allies had won decisive victories at Midway and Guadalcanal, and
they were coming for the rest of Japan’s conquests. Now the empire
of Japan would be on the defensive. Featuring a new introduction by
the author, this book picks up where Pacific Onslaught left off,
providing a detailed, step-by-step account of the Allies’
unstoppable rally across territories annexed by the Japanese in a
brutal two-pronged attack across New Guinea and the Philippines, and
the islands of the central Pacific. Here you’ll find detailed
contemporary accounts and strategy, from the epic battles of the
Gilberts and Marshalls to the dropping of the atomic bombs on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Japan’s final surrender on the decks of
the USS Missouri.
