Most of what I have read about World War II has been in the European countries and the Holocaust.  I wanted to expand my knowledge of the war efforts so read this book about the Pacific front...little did I know more Americans were killed in the Pacific than in Europe.  What horrible times for men and women who fought the war and those at home who waited to hear about loved ones and sacrifice for the  war effort.  The men on ships never knew if they would be destroyed by another ship or from the air...those on land did not know if it would be by air or those hidden enemies in the bunkers with all the caves connecting them.  this was a short book but I did enjoy it and gained much knowledge regarding the Pacific War.  I would recommend this to anyone who is into history and wants to know more about the fighting and why the American president decided to drop the bomb.
