Author: Peter Harmsen

Number of Pages: 240

War in the Pacific is a trilogy of books comprising a general history of the war against Japan; unlike other histories it expands the narrative beginning long before Pearl Harbor and encompasses a much wider group of actors to produce the most complete narrative yet written and the first truly international treatment of the epic conflict. War in the Pacific – Storm Approaching 1931 – 1941 demonstrates how Japan and China’s ancient enmity grew in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries leading to increased tensions in the 1930s which exploded into conflict in 1937. This book will take the relatively familiar stories – such as Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima – and place inside a much less well known global narrative.
