Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The author, a combat veteran of the Pacific War, explains why five major Pacific War battles were not needed to defeat the Japanese, hence resulting in more than 100,000 tragically needless U.S. casualties. The author participated in most of these battles, thus is able to offer a first-hand account of what went wrong.
Synopsis:
This book deals with only five of the many battles fought during the Pacific War, yet American casualties resulting from these battles totaled almost one-third of the nearly 300,000 casualties suffered by US forces during that conflict. These battles need not have been fought, as the author explains.
