These evocative color images are paired with archival photographs that show the same tropical battlegrounds as they appeared in wartime.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The text covers the entire war in the Pacific, from the attack on Pearl Harbor to Japan's surrender in Tokyo Bay. The principal battles are recounted hour-by-hour, drawing heavily on firsthand accounts. This vivid narrative helps the reader visualize what it was really like to be at war in the Pacific, doggedly island-hopping to victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rex Alan Smith, Gerald A.
