An accessible, authoritative introduction to the war against Japan for adult readers.

- Why did Japan decide to attack at Pearl Harbour?
- What was the Japanese vision of a Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere?
- How did the American strategy turn the tide against Japanese offensives?

From the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, Oahu, to the Phillipines Campaign, the Allies were finally able to turn the tide against the onslaught of Japanese forces. Ending in Japanese surrender after the devastating atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the war in Japan was eventually won, but at the cost of civilian lives.
