"Bloody Pacific" tells the real story of the attitudes and
behaviour of American fighting men in the war against Japan,
revealing much about the nature of this terrifying conflict that
has until now remained unknown. Based on years of research and
using countless unpublished diaries and letters, Schrijvers sweeps
across the battlefields, from the desperate stand at Guadalcanal to
the tragic sinking of the USS Indianapolis, and from the daunting
spaces of the China-Burma-India theatre to the fortress islands of
Iwo Jima and Okinawa. In a manner that is often unsettling, "Bloody
Pacific" brings to life the GIs' epic struggle with suffocating
wilderness, debilitating diseases, and Japanese soldiers choosing
death over life.
Amid the frustration and despair of this war, American soldiers
abandoned themselves to an escalating rage against nature and man -
and prayed for the bombs that would wipe away Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
