Pacific Campaign: The U.S.-Japanese Naval War 1941-1945

Pacific Campaign: The U.S.-Japanese Naval War 1941-1945

Dan van der Vat's naval histories have been acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic as â€œdefinitive,â€ â€œextraordinary,â€ and â€œvivid and harrowing.â€

Now he turns to the greatest naval conflict in history: the Pacific campaign of World War II. Drawing on neglected archives of firsthand accounts from both sides, van der Vat interweaves eyewitness testimony with sharp, analytical narration to provide a penetrating reappraisal of the strategic and political background of both the Japanese and American forces, as well as a major reassessment of the role of intelligence on both sides. A comprehensive evaluation of all aspects of the war in the Pacific, The Pacific Campaign promises to be the standard work on the U.S.-Japanese war for years to come.
