Preorder - The Pacific Book (240pA4 HB)

In 1942 and 1943 the war in the Pacific and in

Asia covered vast distances as Japanese ambitions

sought to bring much of these lands under their

control. In the British colonies of Malaya and

Burma, the Japanese swept British and Indian

forces towards the Indian frontier in what seemed

like an unstoppable tide.

In the Western Pacific Ocean, the Japanese seized

US possessions and dependencies, quickly over-

whelming garrisons, even taking the Philippines

from local and US troops. They even reached the

doorstep of Australia, taking control of the Dutch

East Indies and landing in Papua New Guinea and

prompting the Australians to bring their forces back

from the Mediterranean theatre and hastily dispatch

home defence troops to Papua New Guinea.

However, as the Allies recovered from these initial

setbacks they began the long and hard fought battle to

turn back the Japanese tide. The British and Indians

launch a number of offensives to recover Burma,

while the Americans and Australians fight together to

secure Papua New Guinea, while the Americans begin

the fight for the Solomon Islands at Guadalcanal.
