The Pacific follows the way against Japan from the raid on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945. It shows how Japan made remarkable initial gains in Asia and the Pacific, and how the United States and its allies plotted a thrust across the vast Pacific Ocean, based on aircraft carriers, air power, and amphibious landings on scattered islands. Eventually, the campaign brought llied bombers within striking distance of japan itself.
