Description:
The Stationary Office, 2001. New book, 246 pages. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in December 1941 effectively brought the US into World War II. More than 2,000 men died in a few hours. But how had the Japanese been able to inflict such a terrible blow on the US without any preventative action being taken? Several hearings were to lay the blame on military and intelligence officers. Two minority reports, however, published in 1946, threw a different light on the whole event. They concluded that President Roosevelt himself and his closest advisers where amongst those directly responsible for what had happened.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2011. New book, 64 pages, CMD17. 'Bill' Slim was one of the greatest British generals of World War II. In a career that stretched from 1914 until 1958 Bill Slim's greatest triumphs came in India and Burma in the long war against the Japanese between 1944 and 1945. This new Command title will cover both expeditions extensively. It also explores the legacy of a general that time often forgets. His success in rebuilding the morale and self-confidence of a defeated army remains at the heart of the way the British Army continues to train its soldiers today. He was no theoretical soldier, but in his demonstration of the principles of what is today called 'manoeuvre warfare' he is regarded as one of the finest commanders of the modern age and this book will help illustrate why. . Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Dennis, Peter. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2020. New book, 512 pages. From popular Pacific Theatre expert Jeffrey R. Cox comes this insightful new history of the critical Guadalcanal and Solomons campaign at the height of World War II. His previous book, Morning Star, Rising Sun, had found the US Navy at its absolute nadir and the fate of the Enterprise, the last operational US aircraft carrier at this point in the war, unknown. This new volume completes the history of this crucial campaign, combining detailed research with a novelist's flair for the dramatic to reveal exactly how, despite missteps and misfortunes, the tide of war finally turned. By the end of February 1944, thanks to hard-fought and costly American victories in the first and second naval battles of Guadalcanal, the battle of Empress Augusta Bay, and the battle of Cape St George, the Japanese would no longer hold the materiel or skilled manpower advantage. From this point on, although the war was still a long way from being won, the American star was…
