Pacific Onslaught: 7th Dec. 1941/7th Feb. 1943

Japan had mighty ambitionsâ€”to control the Western Pacific. The attack on Pearl Harbor devastated the American Pacific fleet, their primary obstacle, and they swept across the region. What ensued was a bitter struggle in which many thousands of soldiers lost their lives on both sides.

This is the first book in Paul Kennedyâ€™s chronicle of the Pacific conflict in World War II, concluded in Pacific Victory. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this book provides a close, step-by-step narrative of the Japanese expansion into the Western Pacific during some of the most brutal years of World War II. Offering contemporary analysis of war strategy, it includes a riveting look at Japanâ€™s tightening grip on Hong Kong, New Guinea, the Philippines, and other key strategic locationsâ€”and the Alliesâ€™ inexorable struggle against it. These works on the War in the Pacific are as gripping today as when they were first published.
