Island Infernos: The US Army's Pacific War Odyssey, 1944

John C. McManus''s award-winning Fire and Fortitude enthralled readers with an unforgettable and authoritative account of the US Army''s evolution during the Pacific War, from the devastation of Pearl Harbor to the bloody battle for Makin Island in 1943. Now, in this second and final volume, he follows the Army as they land on Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa, climaxing with the American return to the Philippines, one of the largest, most complex operations in American history and one that would eventually account for one-third of all American casualties in the Pacific-Asia theater.
