The Pacific War: Campaigns of World War II. Wiest A.

Campaigns of World War II: The Pacific War examines in depth the whirlwind Japanese victories of 1941-42, when her armies and navies conquered Hong Kong, Burma, Malaya, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. The book analyses how the Allies, specifically the US, organised a counterattack, and how gradually the Japanese were forced onto the defensive. The authoritative text is complemented by full-colour maps that explain the movement of forces. In addition, there are artworks of the uniforms, armoured fighting vehicles, aircraft and ships that took part in the campaign, with specifications tables accompanying the vehicle, ship and aircraft artworks.
