While the Pacific War has been widely studied by military historians and venerated in popular culture through movies and other media, the fighting in the South Pacific theater has, with few exceptions, been remarkably neglected. Worthy of remembrance no less than Wake Island, Leyte Gulf, and Tarawa are the great unsung battlefields of Buna, Shaggy Ridge, and the Driniumor River on New Guinea, the torpedo-infested waters off New Georgia, and the deadly skies over Rabaul and Wewak. Authoritative yet written in a highly readable narrative style, South Pacific Cauldron is the first complete history embracing all land, sea, and air operations in this critically important sector of the oceanic conflict. South Pacific operations are covered in detail, including the little-known, final Australian campaigns that continued until the Japanese surrender. Based on the author's archival research, the long-suppressed story about the death of a leading Marine Corps general at his headquarters is revealed, as is the subsequent cover up sanctioned by Admiral Halsey. Also examined are the issues faced by the segregated Army in employing African-American troops in combat. > South Pacific Cauldron's story is enhanced with sixteen maps and forty-two photographs, many rarely seen, that were carefully chosen from official American and Australian sources. The book includes a detailed chronology to put the widely separated operations in context and a detailed bibliography for additional reading on the subject.
