This is a rich and broadranging account of the Asia-Pacific
campaigns of WWII. Drawing on recently released documents in US and
British archives, Douglas Ford explores why the belligerents in the
Pacific war fought the way that they did. This book focuses not
only on the battlefield level, but also provides a perspective from
the military high command, government, and non-combatant citizens.
How did Japan emerge as a Great Power following the breakdown of
the Washington Treaty system of 1921-22? What factors propelled
Japan's aggressive expansion on the Asian continent during the
1930s? After Pearl Harbor, Japan rapidly conquered Southeast Asia
and the western Pacific but the tide of the war shifted in the
Allies' favour at Midway and Guadalcanal. This book concludes with
the reasons why the Pacific War ended with Japan's unconditional
surrender, and the consequences of the dropping of the atomic bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
