On December 7, 1941, America's hopes of remaining neutral in World
War II disappeared in the oily smoke that roiled from her
battleships burning at Pearl Harbor. The nation faced Herculean
tasks to strike back against the Imperial Japanese military that
had attacked her. Victory demanded crossing thousands of miles of
ocean, creating new weapons, and arming hundreds of thousands of
young men to fight their way across a series of desolate islands
that a fanatical enemy had fortified to exact the highest possible
price from the American troops. Historic Photos of World War II:
Pearl Harbor to Japan portrays this epic story, using
black-and-white photographs selected from the finest archives and
private collections. From the sinking of the Arizona to
the raising of the Stars and Stripes over Japan, Historic
Photo of World War II: Pearl Harbor to Japan depicts in a way
mere words cannot the determination, struggle, and sacrifices of
America's fighting men as they rose to the challenge of liberating
free peoples of the Pacific from a conquering invader.
World War II was a conflict that split a majority of the world's
nations into two opposing sides, the Allies and the Axis. Spanning
much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of more than
60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in history.
From the rise of Hitler to the collapse of Nazi Germany, this is a
story of the liberation of Western Europe. With approximately 200
photographs, many of which have never been
published, Historic Photos of World War II: North Africa to
Germany shows dramatic shots of these historical events in
stunning black and white photography and is a must-have for any
American history buff!
