A new paperback edition of one of the bestselling World War II Osprey
titles, The Pacific War Companion brings together the perspectives and
insights of world-renowned military historians. From the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor through the release of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, the conflict in the Pacific was marked by amazing tactical
innovations, such as those in amphibious warfare, and horrific battles
that raged in the unforgiving climate of the island jungles. Each
chapter in this book focuses on a different aspect of this conflict,
from the planning of operations to the experiences of the men who were
there.
