Review: The best Pacific theatre book around. - Second in the series of three books. And as was the case with the first book. I can't reccomend this enough. If you are looking for a series of books that explain the Pacific theatre of war, whilst being highly readable. Then look no further. You won't find anything better.
Review: A Tour de Force - This book is an absolute gem, focusing on the Pacific Island and naval battles from 1942-44. There's 200 pages alone on the Guadalcanal campaign, and the 5 major naval battles that took place around it in the Solomon Islands. Then the author focuses on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, the US raid on Truk which has been forgotten, and ends with the landings on Saipan and Guam, with an excellent account of the large battle of the Philippine Sea, also known as the Marianas Turkey Shoot. I feel that the author focuses more on the naval aspects of the Pacific Theater, rather than the actual battles of the land campaigns on the islands. The book reads more like a novel than a non fiction book, and its written so it is easily understood, with some politics included. Overall the book was a page turner and is certainly one of the best books on the US campaigns in the Pacific in World War 2. I look forward to the third volume, as this is the second volume of Ian W Toll's Pacific trilogy.
