No war has tested the resolve of the American people and her fighting men as did the battles in the Pacific. This book is a visual testament to the key battles fought in the Pacific. On December 7, 1941, as the Japanese dived out of the clouds above Pearl Harbor, America's future was fundamentally altered.

But with this one surprise attack America was inevitably thrown into the fray as the Second World War erupted.

Each chapter reveals the horrors of battle and the grim determination to wrest victory from certain defeat.
