Covering all Pacific islands involved in World War II military
operations, this book is a detailed, single source of information
on virtually every geo-military aspect of the Pacific Theater.
Arranged regionally and, to the extent possible, chronologically
according to when islands entered the war, entries provide complete
background information. Along with island names, nicknames, Allied
code names, location, and wartime time zones, the entries include
such topics as the island's physical characteristics, weather,
health hazards, historical background, native population, natural
resources, and military value. Japanese and Allied strategies and
operations, military problems caused by terrain, military
installations, Japanese units and key commanders, Allied units and
key commanders, and brief battle descriptions are also covered
along with the island's postwar status.
A valuable resource for researchers, historians, military
history enthusiasts, and war gamers, the book provides complete
background information on the geo-military aspects of the Pacific
Ocean region, its islands, and the roles they played in the war.
108 maps provide specific information. Until now, geo-military
information could only be found by searching four to ten
publications on each island.
