In a matter of just months, the soldiers and sailors of the Rising Sun conquered an area even bigger than Hitler's empire at its largest extent. They seemed invincible. Hawaiians and Australians were fearing a future under Hirohito. For half of mankind, fate was hanging in the balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFast forward to the end of 1943, and the tables had been turned entirely. A reinvigorated American-led military machine had kicked into gear, and the Japanese were fighting a defensive battle along a frontline that crossed thousands of miles of land and ocean. \u003ci\u003eJapan Runs Wild, 1942-1943\u003c\/i\u003e by acclaimed author Peter Harmsen details the astonishing transformation that took place in that period, setting the Allies on a path to final victory against Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe middle installment in the trilogy, \u003ci\u003eJapan Runs Wild, 1942-1943 \u003c\/i\u003epicks up the story where its predecessor volume \u003ci\u003eStorm Clouds over the Pacific, 1931-1941\u003c\/i\u003e left off. The common theme of the series is a comprehensive view of World War Two in the Asia Pacific, giving due emphasis to the central Japanese-American struggle, but also encompassing the other nations that were engulfed in the vast showdown: British, Australians, Soviets, Filipinos, Indians and Koreans. Above all, the central importance of China is highlighted in a way that no previous general history of the war against Japan has achieved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Harmsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612006256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612006253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Casemate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Peter Harmsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485661901055,"sku":"9781612006253","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08f5b24c-45bb-4cea-afd6-854f1ef6b1dd.jpg?v=1778050723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japan-runs-wild-1942-1943-peter-harmsen-9781612006253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
