"Between 1942 and 1944 the Allied forces and the Imperial Japanese Army struggled over the uncharted and inhospitable islands of the Sout h Pacific. In what quickly became a war of annihilation, the Allies fought to defend their air and sea bases against an enemy that neither asked nor showed any mercy. The fate of Australia and the eventual outcome of the war in the Pacific hun g i n the balance until the combined efforts of Allied air and sea support finally shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility. (This book) is a revelatory portrayal of the lives of the regular infantrymen who sturggled to contain the Japanese a dv a nc es . (The author) has spent hundreds of hours interviewing the last surviving veterans of this remarkable campaign and he presents the dynamics of the war through their eyes. Rather than review decisions made by the commanders, he has depi cte d the fl ow of battle in all its terrifying immediacy and occasional beauty."
