[From front jacket flap] War in the Pacific begins with Japan's interest in colonialism, the assassination of Marshall Chang Tso-lien in Manchuria, and Japan's subsequent decision to "Strike South." The attack on Pearl Harbor is examined in light of the difficulties Japan's navy had to overcome to launch such an attack. The atrocities inflicted upon innocent people and prisoners of war, even prior to the Rape of Nanking, are covered in detail throughout Japans conquest and reign of terror. Here, in a succinct and lucid presentation, is all the information you wanted to know about the Bataan Death March, the Burma Road, Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo, the Death Railway, the Kamikazes, the Firebombing of Japan, and difficulties Japan had in ending the war. The chapters on "Other" Surrender Ceremonies and "Independent Forces and Unnecessary Battles" reveal new information never before published.
