Synopsis:
Published to coincide with the forthcoming HBO mini series, The Pacific, produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Speilberg and Gary Goetzman, this is a detailed look at the war against Japan in the Pacific Islands during the Second World War. Starting with the unprovoked Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and the almost simultaneous attack on US bases on Guam and Wake Island, it then goes on to document the bloody battles fought in the jungle islands of Guadalcanal and the Philippines and the seas of the Pacific. Includes 15 pieces of carefully selected facsimile memorabilia, ranging from military orders, to propaganda leaflets dropped by the Japanese on US troops to the personal diaries and letters home of both generals, officers and ordinary soldiers.
