From the Publisher:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Victory in the Pacific <\/span><\/i>covers events from the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor through the battles of Midway, Guadalcanal, the Solomon Islands, Savo Island, the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, Corregidor Island, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima , and Okinawa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In each case, readers see the battles through the eyes of the men who were there, landing on the beaches, running raids in PT boats, dodging kamikaze bombers, and flying missions over Japan. In an easily accessible style, Marrin relates not only the important details of these conquests but also explains the military strategies of both the Allied forces and the Japanese. Readers get an overarching view of the war that helps to bring understanding especially as American forces drew increasingly closer to Japan and the Japanese grew ever more determined to fight to the bitter end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marrin helps readers to understand the Japanese mindset that made surrender impossible and ultimately led to the decision to drop the atomic bomb in the interests of saving millions of lives. For the young adult reader, or even an adult unfamiliar with this period of WWII history, this book provides a sobering but inspiring look and the men and women, the nations and ideologies, that battled over half a century ago in the Pacific theater. Illustrated with diagrams, maps and photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Focusing on the weeks before and months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Marrin tells the stories that took place in the jungles of Guadalcanal and Betio. He accurately portrays the struggles of the Navy and Marines as they crossed the Pacific, island to island, making their way to Japan.<\/p>\n
