Used Book in Good Condition
Samuel Eliot Morison's The Two Ocean War.
It is often difficult to understand how different another persons mindset can be. The Japanese had a sort of jihadist mind set that we still see reflections of even today in the controversy over the multitudes of rapes of the so called 'comfort wives'. At the time they were planning to fight to the last person dead. During the war in the pacific again and again on each island the allies conquered the Japanese refused to surrender until every man was killed or wounded so badly they could not lift a weapon or detonate an explosive. Had we invaded and fought them under those conditions the death toll and suffering would have many times worse. For a great understanding of the war in the pacific I recommend The (Two-Ocean War: A Short History of the United States Navy in the Second World War). NOTE: The book is only short compared to the 15 volume complete history of the US navy in WW2 by the same author.
