The horrors of this century's war in the South Pacific extended far beyond the detonation of atomic bombs. In this revelatory portrayal of the lives of the regular infantrymen who struggled to contain the Japanese advance, Bergerud presents a chilling and compelling record of the incredible hardships endured by these soldiers and the heroic efforts that resulted in the reversal of the course of the war. of photos. 8 maps.

This is one of the best books about World War 2 that I have ever read. Begerud does an excellent job explaining how the war in the South Pacific was fought and how it differed from the war in Europe. He is also excellent in describing how the Americans, Australians and Japanese dealt with the harsh environment
