The Conquering Tide: War in the Pacific Islands, 1942–1944

Beginning with Pearl Harbor and culminating in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the great Pacific War would become the largest, bloodiest, and most complicated amphibious war in history. Using firsthand accounts, naval historian Ian W. Toll explores how the U.S. and Allied Forces rolled back the Japanese Pacific Empire island-by-island as they blazed their way towards Tokyo.

Ian W. Toll is the acclaimed author of The Conquering Tide: War in the Pacific Islands, 19421944, the second installment in his Pacific War Trilogy.
